The monumental move from the U.S. to the Middle East was an undertaking to say the least. Since we accepted educational positions in Qatar, a strong seller’s market nudged us to sell our house and put our belongings into storage. The focus became packing 18 bags for 16 hours of flight.

Every year as students run out the double doors of school after following the last final exam onto summer jobs and family vacations, I pursue my summer goal, leave the country. I try to visit a new country every year. Sometimes it happens, other times it does not. Occasionally, a summer will present multiple summer travel possibilities. This is one of those summers. Each trip is unique.
