Duck and Gumby were in Qatar for four days, and they had a good time.
When the boys weren't busy running around, they were able to relax on post. There was a pool, a Chili's, other food shops, and after 6pm until midnight, drinks were served. They couldn't go hog wild, as there was a three drink limit setup for the night, but it was nice to get that taste. The food offered wasn't too bad, and it was just nice and relaxing.
With that, the boys got on the plane and flew back to Iraq, via Kuwait. Both refreshed and ready to finish up this tour.

There was plenty of things that they could sign up for to enjoy while there. They went to the large local mall, and then they also hit up a trip to the local shops that were more traditional. They bought a couple of things, but overall it was just cool to see the different sights. There was a film festival in town as well, so there were things set up and caused issues with traffic. No celebrity sightings, but rumor had it they were in town.

They happened to be in Qatar during Halloween. There was a party where a bunch of people dressed up. Our heroes didn't have anything to wear, so they went as themselves, and no one really cared. It was more about hanging out and just unwinding. There was a lot of other things to do. There was the bowling alley, the movie area with comfy chairs and a movie going all the time. There was also the tv's around that usually had sports or something on. Both were very happy to watch the Vikings kick the Packer's at Lambeau.
As they were sitting there knowing their time to go back was coming, Duck looked at Gumby and asked, "This was fun Gumby. I wish we could hang out here all the time."
Gumby just smiled and looked back at Duck, "Now Duck, you know we have our job to do back in Basra. You were right that this was fun, but now we get back to work and finish up this time in the desert. Soon we will be back home and relaxing like this all the time."
Duck just nodded and finished packing. "You are right Gumby. It will be good to get home in the end."
