Norway..... I will return one day on vacation....
I took a trip to Norway for one of our restaurant concepts called "Peppes Pizza". The restaurant was founded about 40 years ago and is one of the best brands of pizza I have ever had. We have a few restaurants open in Kuwait but I had never visited the original restaurants based in Norway so off I went to see them. A few things I discovered were most of the men are my height or taller and blond haired. Like Iceland most...

A poodle haircut in Kuwait... sounds easy?
So yesterday we were off on an adventure... where do you take a poodle to get a haircut in Kuwait City? Janet did a little research and followed up on all the reviews. She found one place where the reviews were quite positive; International Veterinary Hospital of Kuwait. She went on line and booked an appointment. They actually then called her back and negotiated another time with her so that was great because it showed they...

From sand to water....
From sand to water.... I took a quick business trip yesterday. 1,000 miles away I landed in Cairo, Egypt for a half day. Several interviews set up that went very well. Developed some new friends and business relationships and I look forward to seeing them again in the future. I have 4 restaurants in this area; 2 on a large boat and 2 on land right beside the boat that is located on the River Nile. My goal is to hire...

British Embassy Diamond Jubilee
Tonight was a night to get out of the apartment and break loose... we were invited by friends to attend the British Embassy for the Diamond Jubilee. Basically; an event for about 1,000 people to attend, 5 food vendors, about 5 areas set up for serving beverages with a wide selection of wines, spirits, beers, soft drinks, juices, etc. A live band was playing that was great with tunes from the 70's in rock up through modern top 40s. We met a lot of new friends, danced like crazy, ate a wide variety of foods from sushi to burgers...

She should have never said that.....
My family has made the trip to Kuwait City! Lots of great stories to come from them later. To start with this week while I worked late the other night I missed a family dinner with friends just down the street. Janet, Ambyre, Drew & Bailey still did get to meet and go have dinner with them however and had a great time. I really did miss not being there during this first meeting.
Later that same night Janet was all excited...

it took me 94 days.....
On January 31st I landed in Kuwait City to start a venture and see where it goes.... I had traveled the world many times around and had met many people while doing so. I have to tell you something... moving somewhere and visiting somewhere are two different things altogether :)
Typical for me was to fly in to an area and spend anywhere from 3 days to 7 days while working the entire time. You try to take time to meet people and to learn more of the area. What have I learned now that I have been in Kuwait for 94 days? Well...
