Nov 28-First Leg Home

We got lucky when we got to the airport. There was at least an hour long wait to get through the first part where the luggage has to go through the x-ray machine. Then they saw Jeff, and took us over to a now open lane. 

Waiting in the long line. 

We whipped through there quickly. Then we had to drop our bags and get our boarding passes. Again, there was a long line, but a guy came and took us to another lane. I think it’s because Jeff, being very tall, stands out (also looks like White Jesus). Regardless, it saved us a lot of time. 

Boarding passes in hand, we made our way to Passport Control. Passports stamped, we headed to security. Funny thing, you have to take your shoes off, but you can bring a bottle of water. Makaela forgot to take her small pocket knife out of her backpack. They confiscated it. They also took Jeff’s titanium spork. 

Now we are waiting at the gate for our flight to Doha.
