Off to KWI

On April 27th, I left Fort Worth bound for Kuwait City. We left DFW about 11:45am and flew to Dulles. Our flight to Kuwait left about 6:15pm, to arrive in Kuwait City about midafternoon - the next day! The flight was very, very long. Someone was at the airport to meet us and help us clear immigration and customs. The whole process was actually much easier than I thought it would be. We all loaded our luggage on a bus and went to the Crown Hotel in Kuwait City.

This is my new friend Pam and I on the bus to the hotel.

The hotel was really nice, although we were only there overnight. Below are some pictures taken inside and outside.

We left the Crown at 5am and headed to the airport for our flight into Afghanistan. Again, clearing customs and immigration was very easy. We waited for about 3 hours before our plane left. Our flight was about 5 hours, with one stop in Dubai to refuel and pick-up passengers.
