Hoo-boy

Where to begin?

Friday I got to Atlanta's airport at about noon-ish and had some lunch. Went and checked in at the military desk then got to sit around and watch tv for 7 hours. It was only supposed to be 6 hours but a storm rolled in and they delayed us. Finally they had us board the plane and we were off. The flight to our first stop was pretty uneventful. I watched Avatar (not the Airbender one) on the in-flight movie then decided to try and get some sleep. I think I've been flying long enough that I'm getting the hand of catching sleep on a plane because I got more sleep than I anticipated.

We landed in Ireland and had a 2 hour layover. Then it was once again off we go, this time to Kuwait. Originally I had thought we were going to land in the military base, but we didn't. We landed at the city airport, got to sit around for a couple of hours then were transported to our final destination (for this leg of the trip). Took a while to check in, called the wife to let her know I was ok and to spread the word that I was safe on the ground. Got to bed about midnight and had a rough sleep on the top bunk of a good old military bunk bed. There were no sheets and no pillow. Thank God that I had my sleeping bag and camping pillow otherwise I would have been up a certain fecal matter creek without a paddle.

It's morning now, got up about 6am ish and will have to muster in a while to see about getting a flight to my final destination.

Final note: when I went to pick up my Sea Bag I noticed that the flap had been opened. I took initial stock and while I only found one item missing, it's an important one. My textbook for my college class :( In 2 weeks I'll be receiving my final exam so it will make things more difficult if I don't get it back. We'll see how that goes :(
