Doha me!!

We have been sitting in the Doha airport for 7 hours and figured there was no better time to write our first blog entry. Our first flight was a breeze, it was 55 minutes to Washington and we were able to stretch out over 2 seats. Our next flight was not so breezy. It was over 12 hours of loud screaming from a delinquint child sitting directly in front of us. We seriously considered slipping him homeopathics and Aliyah had to hold back from tripping him as he ran down the aisle. On the flip side, we were very pleased with Qatar airlines! Perks included: moist towlettes before each meal, an extensive menu with large portions which were quite tasty, a package with an eye cover, travel toothbrush and toothpaste, and socks!!! Aliyah loves socks!

We landed in Doha and it was HOT out! Too bad it costs $35US to leave the airport! this popular layover destination does not provide the comfort that the airline does! I think Michelle has slept 2 hours thus far! We are a little tired and sore, the thought of waiting here another 7 hours is a bit of a nightmare! By the way, we all sporting some serious cankles (our calves are flowing into our ankles creating a very swollen look).

We are more than pumped to be greeted by Aliyah's family when we arrive in Nairobi!!
