Whew!

Ok, the flight was not as bad as I thought. I actually had 3 seats all to myself so I was able to get some sleep on the plane.
I thought we would be flying over Africa, but we actually went way up north and then came down over Europe.

Here is the flight map from the inflight monitor:

Flying over Saudi Arabia was interesting- I have never seen so many miles and miles of endless sand.

Finally there! First sign I ever saw in English & Arabic. I found Coke and Pepsi cans in Arabic as well- that was interesting to see!
