2 Flights Down, 1 To Go

As promised, here is an update from the wifi hotspot McCafe in Kuwait International Airport. I have made it successfully across the Atlantic, Europe, most of the Middle East, and am now awaiting the last leg of my plane travels. Something I did not quite take into account is the fact that I do not speak nor understand nor read a single word in Arabic. This has been quite interesting as my latest international travels have all been to Spanish speaking countries. Luckily, Kuwait Airways is super fancy and provided my menu in Arabic and English. However, the in-flight entertainment is in Arabic. Alas, I am impressed I figured out how to sign onto blogspot as the directions were all in Arabic.

Even with the lack of video, I have been keeping busy. Most of my flights have involved sleeping and making new friends. Note to self (and others contemplating international travel): No alcohol is served on Kuwait Airways, remember to stock up on duty free booze before flying home in May. Maybe on the Kuwait to Mumbai flight I will do my angel cards.

People I have met so far include a family that lives in Damariscotta, ME, a woman traveling to Chile (three cheers for airport bars), a super preppy girl who did not enjoy Kuwait Airways and decided to sit next to me instead of what she referred to as "a woman looking near death," and a nice couple on their way to Sri Lanka. My favorite incident though might have been when a man came up to the preppy girl and asked if she was a stewardess because she was wearing a trendy blazer. Let me tell you, she did not enjoy that, but it's okay because I did.

So I should be off as I would rather not miss my connection to Mumbai. I was sad that it got dark so early flying over the Kuwait desert, but hopefully the sun will be up and in full force as I fly into India. I can't wait to start taking pictures and plan on attempting some from the sky! Maybe by the next blog post I will have some nifty ones to share.
