Its official-Good bye Doha! I have spent the last week packing up my apartment while my husband has spent the entire week getting our Houston home in prepartion for my return (this is the end to the "man cave"). I have successfully packed all of my stuff in 5...no wait...6 bags.
I am now sitting in the Qatar Airways Premium terminal where there is a chef preparing scrambled eggs and waffles. I am in Heaven!! Will I miss Doha? Sure, I will miss Souq Waqif, the poshness of the Pearl, the GREAT Lebanese food, high tea at the Ritz, the expat lifestyle, running along the gulf every morning, and the fresh fruit juices. There are a few things I glady bid-adeu; the 1.5 hour bus rides one way to work, playing the game of chicken while walking on the Pearl, having Friday and Saturdays as weekends, Carrefour (and the random dead carcus), and not being able to drive myself.
This has been a wonderful experience and I have met amazing people that I hope to remain in contact in the future. Good bye Doha...........Hello Houston!
On more thing before I go....Sybil this is for you....I tipped my waiter in the Qatar Airways Lounge 10QR. You have taught me well. See you Stateside.....
Safe travels, sweet Courtney! We will miss you, but no doubt you will remain in our hearts, ESPECIALLY after taking care of your lounge attendant! You make me proud, girl!
