Airplane to Kuwait

So our plane came left about 11 pm for a NONstop flight to Kuwait. That equals 13 hours of flying with little leg room and two people sitting to either side of you. But actually it went by really fast. I prob will always fly first class. They pretty much had beds and their own cubicle. I was jealous. Each of the seats, although, had a TV in the head rest with movies of all types, to seasons on tv, to music videos, to CD's. I watched Sherlock Holmes, then feel asleep. Then I watched Men who stare at Goats, pretty dumb. Then I watched Its Complicated, very good. They plane served chicken with grits and green beans and turkey sandwitches. For snacks they game me cheese and crackers and I noticed the cheese looked more like a roma tomato. It was weird but the woman said it was cheese so I put it in between the two crackers and took a big ole bite. It was disgusting, almost threw up. Then I noticed you had to peel the WAX surrounding the cheese just to get to it. So I ate a big bite of WAX.

We landed in Kuwait 13 hours later and then it kinda hit me, we are in dirka land. The air was thick and salty and sandy..all mixed into one. I walked over to the bus and the driver was dirka with an orange rag on the head...crazy...but I liked the color, reminded me of Tennessee. After 6 hours of on the bus, off the bus, we finally arrived out our temporary destination of a camp in Kuwait. Sleeping in a big air conditioned tent. The sand is everywhere and its killing my eye allergies. Well i gotta get off here, breakfast is calling...been up since yestarday.
