Kuwait City, late May

Sounds crazy, I know, but I'm not kidding. I'm thinking of visiting the troops, volunteering with the Red Cross (Red Cresent) and bring donated supplies.

Can't do this alone. Anyone interested?

Kuwaiti Air, British Air, KLM. Fares are steep though. Pricing out over $1200 from NYC, and even $2500+ on BA.

Be aware that even volunteering can be considered "working".... You need a visa irrespective, ensure you check with the Kuwait embassy in DC that you won't have ANY issues doing volunteer work on a visitor visa.

Yeow! At those prices, using miles would be the only option for me.
