flights and arrival

Good.

I was surprised at the east asian attendants on the first flight (along with some middle eastern women) and a tall Scandainavian gal on the second. Someone has since suggested it's a matter of Middle Eastern women only recently being allowed to work and a hold over of foreigners coming in from that.

Seems to make sense.

The Amman airport was fun if only because of all the no smoking signs and lovely announcement totally ignored by everyone.

We are all now well ensconsed at the Shokini Palace. Mr. Shokinin runs a tight ship to be sure.
