I got back earlier than my schedule. Got terribly sick while I was in India, and decided that I would rather die at home in my bed, than in a different country. Ironic, no? My beautiful country India, where I was born, and brought up and the land that I love…. but when you are sick, the smallest town in the good old USA has far superior health care than a big city there. At least I think so. Didn’t really go to any hospital there, but all I kept thinking was that I needed to get back. So I came home on the 20th instead of on the 25th. My regret…. that I didn’t get to go to Bombay to see my childhood friend. That will be a thorn in my heart for the rest of my life.
The flight out of Chicago O’Hare on Qatar Airlines was very good. I had a very comfortable seat. The meals were fabulous in taste and presentation. The first course was wild mushroom soup, which was excellent. I was served a basket of wonderful bread along with it. For drinks I had fresh squeezed orange juice which was very good.
The next course was salad. Fresh and succulent greens with cheese.

Welcome home, Zakiah! I’m sorry you were so sick.– that really spoils a trip! I’m hoping you will feel better very soon!
Oh dear! I hope you are better now.
Welcome home and so sorry you got ill and had to come home early. Your meal and flight sound wonderful and welcome home and good vibes for a speedy recovery.
I was just today wondering when we might hear from you again. 🙂
I’m sorry that your visit was cut short and that you did not get the best enjoyment because of sickness. 😦
but wow, that travel sounds like something even way better than first class!
I did not see you in that picture of the lounge.
I went to your blog to comment, but didn’t know how I could comment. There was no place to direct me. I loved your rain/frog blog. I love the rain too. The sound of it coming through the trees, is mesmerizing.
Sorry that you became sick. Hope you are healed soon.
I hope being at home has made you feel better, but it’s too bad your trip was cut short.
Welcome Back, SweetZ!
I’m so sorry to hear that you were ill on your trip. 😦
Glad you are feeling better now! 🙂
(((HUGS)))
Wow, what a nice flight!! I miss flying. I would love to fly somewhere for my vacation week next month, but I don’t know where.
You can come here to my little sweet town in IL.
I commented this entry on xanga !!
Sorry you have not been so much, Zakiah.
love
Michel
I am doing a lot better now Michel. Thank you.
I’m sure the airline would have cringed at your description of their seats as something for lethal injections. hahaha…
You might want to get a doctor to confirm that everything is ok with your tummy. I’m always baffled at what goes on in my tummy. I think stress makes my tummy very queasy sometimes.
Thank you Mattie. I did talk to a friend today who is a G I surgeon and exceptionally good. He has given me some options till next week. If I don’t improve 100%, then he wants to do some tests. Will keep you posted. When you are in your mid seventies, a lot of things can go our of whack! heh heh!
It is sad that you had to become sick on your journey. So you were sick the whole time there? It did not show in the photos. Not at all. I am grateful you are feeling better.
Just a taste of your trip and I am delighted. It is exciting for me. I do not travel much anymore and I miss it. Your description of the trip set my imagination ablaze. And of course now I want shrimp. 🙂
I love shrimp. Yeah, I was uncomfortable more or less the whole journey. Came home early.
i’m glad to hear you are all well now. i have yet to experience Qatar Air. so far, i have flown with Emirates and transited in Dubai. one thing i remembered the most was how good the middle eastern food on the flight as well at the transit airport. i look forward to experiencing Etihad Air and their transit airport in Abu Dhabi soon. i do hope i’ll get to fly with Qatar someday.
The service in Qatar and Etihad is wonderful. But you know Rudy, I didn’t care for their seats in the first/business class. They didn’t have enough room, and were not different from those in the economy class. Yes, you have leg room and you can extend the seat to a bed and sleep. But I think Singapore, Cathay Pacific are far superior with leather, and wider seats.
Isn’t Dubai’s transit lounge and their cuisine out of this world?
