Step 1. Get your head examined

Airline tickets cheaper ? I haven’t been to the airport in 7 years but I guess that’s good news. Doesn’t impact me though.

In the words of Zack Mayo : ‘I got nowhere else to go !’

“Won’t someone think about the poor tourists ??”

Love the expats on this forum that are so concerned about tourists. Omg I’m outraged that Joe Bloggs will change his holiday plans for this.

OMG. I’m outraged.

It seems the only people getting ‘worked up’ about bottled water are people on this thread.

I’m old enough to remember the Thai BKK- Tokyo - Seattle- DFW flights.

I mailed an envelope with Social Security info to USA a few days ago. Tracked as delivered. No problem

I have the same issues. X-ray showed nothing. MRI showed a bulging disc that appears to be pressing against a nerve. Meds and lots of stretching are helping. Good luck.

Phuketski made me lol

Just yesterday at our earthquake damaged condo. No working elevators. One lady needed to get some items from apartment on the 33rd floor and was unable to make the climb. Some other tenants went up for her and via Line video collected what she needed. She offered to pay but no one accepted money. Neighbors for life now

Let's hope the TV adverts are entertaining.

I never answer if I don’t recognize the number. Blocked.

“The good old days” when I also worked in ME on rotation and came in and out 5 or 6 times a year. Even overstays were no big deal as I just paid the fine at departure. Around 2010, immigration would didn’t like the large number of ‘visa exempt’ stamps so I started getting a tourist visa before I came. I understand getting the you visa isn’t always an option but that was my experience.

Join a gym. Plenty of 30-40’s ladies available.

Wow, I am sorry to hear that this has happened to you... I would (of course) Not want this to happen to me (who would)... Would be quite "inconvenient" (to say it mildly). May I ask what you did do then... ? My case is a bit different than most (but then again, most everybody has a unique story and reason "why things are the way that they are"). In my case I would have enough time to apply for a new passport, through my embassy, in the country where I am at (until my flight takes place), which is in the Philippines. BUT - for some important reasons - I will need a passport that has actually been issued in the country of my origin. (Which in this case IS visible in the passport itself, it is stated there, WHERE it has been issued). (To not prolong this here any further, I will leave it at this for now). In my case, I went back to Saudi and obtained a new US Passport from the Embassy. It only took a few days.

I was turned away at Emirates checkin in Bahrain flying to Thailand via Dubai. USA passport had less than 6 months validity. I was aware of that and had planned to renew when I returned to Saudi in a months time. Emirates staff at the check in desk refused to let me fly.

Great information. Thanks for the effort and responses.

That sounds outstanding ! Thanks

Thanks for the responses. It’s what I suspected.
