Arrival blues...

Well, we are not getting off to a good start here, but I guess that happens quite a bit with international travel. Apparently the Sierra Leone delegation was deported from Doha airport after a visa problem. Last I hear they're still nearby, relatively, in Bahrain, and are trying to figure out a way to get back and try again. I wish someone had been able to prevent this and better yet, would get on top of this and fix it. I guess that's the responsibility of the hosts. Sometimes when you try out new venues for international conferences it doesn't always come out smoothly and you don't know why mistakes like this happen. Let's hope it's something trivial and we can get back to the main work at hand
