A Good Lay...Over

When the cheapest flight from Amman, JORDAN to Nairobi, KENYA had a 19 hour layover in BAHRAIN, we immediately had visions of uncomfortable airport seats and back cramps. It wasn't until i glanced at the flight times, that I realized we might be able to spend a night there. It turns out that 'Gulf Air' handles all the details, including VISA, transport, meals and accommodation at an upscale hotel for a reasonable price of $40 per person. I did the math and the plane ticket was saving us almost $200 per person, so it was still a really good deal, plus we could hang out in BAHRAIN for the night. 

In the end, everything worked out exactly according to plan. I guess there is such a thing as a good layover. Who would have thought?

Here are some pics of our brief outing the night we spent there:
