Kuwait is a place where Marines fighting in Iraq come to "relax," if you can call it that. I would like to
go to Kuwait so I can see...; the Ash Shuaybah port, the market, Kuwait City and maybe catch a
sunset over Kuwait Bay. I would like to do; my Abi Everywhere show, eat some dates and fight
AIDS. Would you visit them to see the whole country and provide more photos and do everything you
can do to help fight AIDS? Like donating at my AIDS DONATE NOW button?
