Only 48 hours to go before my flight, and I still don't know what is happening when I check out of my hotel on Wednesday. The Qatar office here in Kuala Lumpur was closed today due to Nazul Al Quran.

Earlier this afternoon I received my first e-mail from Qatar Airlines since this debacle started. With a subject of "Less than 48 hours left. Make it a holiday to remember" their reminder that the ticket sale ends tomorrow could not have been more badly timed or titled.
