By lima foxtrot

but have been looking at all the threads with interest. My husband is working for QP.(i've been reading a thread about the restructure at Mesaieed), so will wait to see how things go. I'm coming out there towards the end of May with my Mum for a 2 week break. Will see how things go, then i will hopefully join him at a later date.

Must say I am really looking forward to coming for a holiday in Qatar and hopefully meet some people from QL. I'm not though looking forward to the flight, silly me booked a flight from our local airport to Amsterdam, i thought it was a straight flight to Qatar but no, we have a 50 mins stop in Dammam, then to Qatar. Should have booked with Qatar Airways but you live & learn.

Bye for now :)

hijacking lima foxtrot's thread.

hi all, i'm new to QL too. I have been lurking in QL for close to a month already and finally registered yesterday. ;)

flying into Doha next week to meet my prospective employer. If things work out, should be coming over to Doha within the next few months.

i have to say that I am quite excited. like a small kiddo getting his first radio controlled car. maybe I should dampen it down with a few swigs of single malt W, muahahahahar! Yes, I am evil ;)

There you go!

More water in the alphabet and during the day.

A good serving of alpha bravo charlie delta echo... W in the evenings. There we go. Got there. Keep walking.

Although my wife has more of a French taste in things but that makes for a colorful time!

I find the heat easy to handle; just standing in the shade makes a difference. But when the humidity comes the misery is inescapable.

If you're into the phonetic alphabet you'll have to replace the normal W for water.

Get ready to be slammed by the heat. Other than that, welcome to Doha. Hope you adjust quickly.
