Deepblu; I was thinking of one of those huge Glastonbury style flags for inside the terminal; that would bring us all together! Perhaps a bit impractical on the plane though. Maybe lash it to the tail-fin...

You could probably bring the more expensive PC parts with you; CPU, RAM, Graphics card, HDD, possibly even a motherboard, then get a case, TFT etc out there then build it up. Assuming, that is, that parts are cheaper over here.

Slim93; Doha it is. What's the food like over there, in the supermarkets? Is the locally sourced produce OK?

Well, I've just received my eticket for the flight; 10am departure, arrival 7pm. Can't wait!

Pete.
