Travel

I left Portland, Oregon on Thursday, 8/27, at 10:20 a.m. and arrived in Doha, Qatar on Friday, 8/28, at 11:00 p.m.  This included stops in San Francisco and Dubai.  Longest day of traveling in my life, but well worth it.  My flight from SF to Dubai was pretty cool (for a girl new to international traveling).  It was a pretty empty flight, so I had the middle 4 seats to myself, and was able to stretch out to sleep.  There was tons of food (free), and real utensils! I also met some great people while traveling: A woman who has been teaching at international school for 15 years, she had lots of insight for me and shared my excitement of the beginning of this, and my many other adventures to come.  Secondly I met a guy who works for google who was able to sort out some things with my new computer.  My last and shortest flight was quick and full of anticipation.  I arrived to very humid 95 degree weather!
