I'm Definitely in Kuwait!

My first clues that I am in Kuwait, or at least not Florida, were the herds of camels behind us as we stood out in the desert!
Imagine being in a boat with no land in sight. Now imagine that the water just turned to pretty, soft sand. On your left are cardboard targets. On your right are a few cars, what looks like shacks or could be tents in the far distance, and a couple of herds of camels about 1/4 mile away.
That was the scene as we took one more chance to fire our weapons to be sure they worked properly. Eventually, the camels ambled within 30-100 yards (less than a football field) of us.
Yep, we are not in Floriday! Mickey Mouse is nowhere in sight!
I have only a few more minutes to be on the computer because I share these privileges with many more people. The telephones are also shared, unless I want to pay a lot of money to talk. We sign up for computer time and phone time, then wait 20-60 minutes for our turn. Then we have 20-30 minutes to use the equipment.
I'll add some pictures and try to update from our final destination soon. The pics are not cooperating from here.
