Flight arrangements

We're really leaving.

While we don't have plane tickets in our hands, we do have an electronic flight itinerary, which makes this entire venture seem much more real.

August 12 is the big day. We're flying out at 11:10 pm, and we'll arrive in Doha just over 24 hours later, at 11:59 pm on the 13th. We'll only be in the air for about 14 hours all together - it's just over 7 hours from Toronto to London and just under 7 hours from London to Doha.

I imagine we'd be all messed up in terms of jet lag regardless of when we left/ arrived, so this itinerary is probably as good as any. And Pearson should be nice and quiet at that time of night! :)

Oh, and they're going to feed us on both planes!

So happy for you both but we are definitely going to miss you. When do you actually start working in Qatar Larissa?

I would suggest you start living the new time the week before.. nad definitely no caffeine products, including chocolate 3 days before and you should be good for the time change... take it from one who has travel that direction a few times, be it Holland or wherever we went.

Just a friendly suggestion!
Love you and will miss you. I have passed your offical letter to a few others. (Hope that was okay)

Love you, Mom
