I would hazard a guess that 4HP was talking about the crew lounge in the Sheraton and not expecting you to stay at the airport
Given the (probably sensible) complete lack of notice / advertisment of such a facility by the hotel I didn't know it existed. However...... access to my email appears to be blocked by the Sheratons ISP (according to them it's blocked 'cause Tiscali supposedly have porn on their site (really?? must look harder when I'm logging on in future
))
From a personal point of view, i would like to ask what do you think of the capital city......
As 411A says, a loaded question if ever there was one.
Suffice to say, I was in Baghdad for about 5 months, late 03 / early 04, I preferred that.
Cheers
