Qatar Trip - Part 3

One more batch of pictures from my recent trip to Qatar. Here is Brad and I in front of the harbor.

This is the City Center mall in downtown Doha. It was 4 stories of shopping fun, we had 2 hours to spend here and didn't even make it through the whole mall. It was quite impressive.

There was an ice skating rink inside, a bowling alley, a mini amusement park, and lots and lots of shops.

Some buildings outside the mall. Lots of construction downtown, the city is really growing.

Enjoying a Guinness back at the camp. Tasty!

Brad with a Tuborg. It is a dutch beer that is popular with the joes as you get a 16oz can for $3. The Guinness was $6.

Ma Beans sent me this shirt a while back. I had to get at least one Bud since I was wearing the shirt. Last beer of the trip!

All good things must come to end sometime. Packing up and heading back to Anaconda.

A somewhat blurry picture of the C17 we took back. This is the big Air Force jet we were hoping for, unfortunately we had a small group so they didn't put the good airline like seats in the middle like they usually do and instead filled it with cargo. I wasn't complaining though, much better then the C130.

We are back to work now. It was a fun trip and great to get away from the office. 3 months to go.

  1. I was just wondering if B believes in a 3 beer limit? Anyone? Ahh...It's fun to pick on people who can't retaliate. I'm glad you had fun and had the chance to plug Ma Beans even on your vacation. That's impressive. The soldier interviewed for this week's soldier story said they are already starting to get some equipment packed up for the return home, so it's fast approaching! Keep 'em in line while you still can.

  3. Glad you guys are getting the chance to get away for a few days and be a "regular" Joe as opposed to a Government Issued one - even if they limited you to 3 beers! (...yea right...)

  5. Looks like you guys were able to have a enjoyable time. It's amazing the things that you have been able to see while on the other side of the pond. Probably a lot you wished you hadn't seen but, what stories and experiences that you will have for the rest of your life.
    Oh, by the way...Brandee was wondering...B only believes in a 3 beer limit in limited circumstances. This isn't one of em'. Hard to trust someone that would hand down a 3 beer limit don't you know?

    Pray for ya' evey day Sack.

    Your Good Buddy B.
