Wednesday, November 19, 2014 - Doha, Qatar


We arrived in Doha about 5 in the afternoon.  Immigration was a bit confusing as the man who was supposed to help direct us was talking on his cell phone.  Happens everywhere!
We collected our bags, got through customs and got a taxi.  A good bit of traffic in Doha so it took about an hour for us to get from the Doha airport to the Ritz Carlton.  Beautiful property.  Since we were there only 1 night and since I’m Platinum with Marriott they gave us a large suite.
The dry, dusty, brown middle east - more oil than water!

Unfortunately, my sinus drip has been gradually getting worse.  Don’t feel much like eating but need to eat something.  We showered and went to the top of the Ritz to a mostly seafood restaurant with a beautiful view out over the Persian Gulf, of downtown Doha and “the Pearl”, a separate development.  Dinner was good despite the sinus drainage and now constant cough. 
Then to bed.
