Numbers

Some perspective, for you and for me.

Since May 2, we have:

- taken four flights on two different airlines
- acquired two new visas
- eaten (or politely disposed of) multiple transit versions of breakfast, lunch and dinner
- slept in five hotels and at least six different rooms
- spent too many hours to count in vans and buses, like this weekend, when we stayed in two major Syrian cities in two days

All those numbers change tomorrow, when we fly to Qatar around 5 p.m. And after four days on the gulf coast, we fly to Boston.

Whoa.
