Dad's living off his teacher retirement and mom's making dolls. So, where is Nick getting the money to travel the world? One time he's unemployed to has to go to Iraq to make money. Then dad says he not there to make money. Then he says there's no contracts in Iraq. Then he's losing thousands while detained. He turns down pocket money and a ticket home. Then he's going home, sailing around Turkey, and leaving stuff at the Al Fanar hotel for his return trip to Iraq where there's no job prospects....

My first thought was... sounds like presidential material... equivalent to the Kerry flip-flops!

Certainly there are dots crying out to be connected.
