Headed East... Middle East

So my newest adventure has me headed to Doha, Qatar.  Honestly I never pictured myself heading to the Middle East but here I am boarding the 12 hour flight. We are Doha bound and flying Qatar Airlines.

My two travel companions are Peter and Jess. We quickly learn that Peter is flying Business Class...     Oh Pish Posh... that means more room for Jess and I ;)

Luckily we got the entire row to ourself. 12 hours was plenty of time to catch up on some much needed sleep and also dive into this wicked entertainment system that even came with a remote too.  Endless movies, Tv shows and games.

And the food was pretty good.. well actually really good compared to other airline food. Eggs and sausage for breakfast.. awesome!

There is even a Rhodes in the Middle East! I may have to stop over for some burgers.

The flight went by really fast and soon enough we were exiting the plane. My first steps into the Qatari air was sufficating. It was about 6pm and the sun had already set and it HOT! Oh boy...
Welcome to the Middle East

A car greeted us and took us to my new Home... The beautiful Kempinski!

The hotel staff was so nice and the place was breath taking. Its the newest and tallest hotel in Doha.

I felt like a celebrity with everyone calling me Miss Susan and it even said Welcome Susan on my huge flat screen TV.

Our suite was huge with a full kitchen, living room, dining room and maids quarters. Did I mention there is  gym, an indoor pool, and sauna...
