Travel Thoughts..Really Random

Things that I have seen and thoughts I've had while on my journey to India..

McDonald's in Qatar - Tricky Micky is everywhere.
In the airport in Doha, Qatar- 
There are two mosques, one male & one female.
A quiet room for travelers.
There is a booty washing hose in the public bathroom..yep.

It seems like the needs of the men are more important that of the women or children. I feel like that is some how twisted. Maybe that's just on the outside, the woman may whoop ass at home. I like to think so anyway. After saying that it may seem a bit odd to admit it but I love the look of some of the Arab men in there long shirt dresses. Not the technical name but you get the idea. They are actually called jellabas. Two that were on my flight to Kerala had them on with diamond cufflinks! G'd up. You can wear them with hard shoes or sandals. I am going to write more about it at a later date but..sexy.

The ladies, although covered from head to toe, have a bit of sass as well. Eye make-up is gorgeous! They have the ends of their long black hijabs covered with stones. They're also rocking the kitten heels. Divas.

It is as hot as stripper buttcheeks in Qatar and all sand colored but people are still all covered up.

There is a huge Apple store right here in the airport. Apple is EVERYWHERE.

I love watching the people here in the airport. 

ADVENTURE!!!

Still curly..just hidden.

Leaving on a Jet Plane..

Who knew? Who knew how weepy I would be leaving the US on this amazing life changing adventure? I was in the airport going through the security and could not stop the tears. Then I prayed to God to send me a sign that I had made the right decision and to help me get myself together. Exactly five minutes later I see William Kellibrew aka BamBam my brother's friend from childhood. He was so happy to see me that it made my day completely. I stopped crying said hello and began to chat him up about my brother Tony's new wife & new baby. 

Tony - Ada - Franzi

This shook it up for me. It was a break in the clouds...at least until I got to the gate. I talked to a friend that made me feel more blue. Not purposely, mind you, I just felt like I was needed at home more than I needed to be away. I wanted desperately to help everyone before I left but I ran out of time. I was feeling very selfish. The tears started again. Then something amazing happened - I said good bye. I got off the phone. I wiped my face and sat for a minute. Quiet. I sent a text to a friend that is so straight forward and politically incorrect - on purpose. This person encourages me to be selfish more often, a little naughty, and makes me howl like a monkey with laughter. My phone rang and just like that I was laughing.. I was back on the right track.

I feel loved.  I want to spread this love. I feel like I am doing the right thing. I need to give something to people with a higher level of need. I feel free.
