there was a thread which asked how one felt about Qatar. I'd only been here a week or so but I remember typing something like 'as I stepped off the aircraft I knew I was home'.

Now, I think this comes back to home being where your heart is because when my hub and I got married we lived in Jeddah and it was the first place we were together as man and wife and the first time we made friends 'together' and first time we set up 'home' together.

I sub-consciously relate living in the Middle East with one of the happiest times of my life when I was with the man in my heart!

So, yes, in that case 'home' can be ANYWHERE that you feel the happiest and 'most at home' with (if you see what I mean) and, in my case, where my heart (euphemism for hub) is.
