Well the flight to Kuwait was cool - Business Class on a 777 is like (did I just say LIKE- oh my gosh Ashley is rubbing off on me) better than first class on regular flights. I could stretch out and not touch the person in front of me, maybe thats why it cost 4800. Mimosa's, shrimp, movies, reclining seat (lazy boy style)...too neat. Watched a few eps of Hero's then feel asleep.
Arrive Kuwait city, airport looks like all others but very modern. Had to wait for a bus to take us to Ali Al Salem AFB - one hour drive....Did I mention it was HOT. Somewhere in the middle of the desert. Got processed and assigned to Tent B-1 for tonight - did I say anything about it being VERY HOT. Not much to do, its like a dust bowl - hazy all the time. Gonna eat at either Mickie D's or Pizza Hut can you believe it. Then off to sleep - tent has about 8 of us in it and yes its AC'd...haven't met anyone as yet....
I leave for Baghdad tomorrow night around 2100 (that's 9PM). C-130 I suppose, should be interesting. Not sure what I will do tomorrow guess not much to do, except eat and read. Wrong plugs for my elctronic stuff....all outlets like a dryer one. Oh suppose i didn't mention its DARN HOT.
It was like a blast furnce when I left the airport. 112 - it was very dry but HOT none the less....weird not really sweating much, but hot. Very windy and very dusty....landing it looked like a haze all over the place. Didn't want to get off the plane .
No pictures yet, they aren't keen on them regarding anything military ....will take one of my living quarters tomorrow if I can . Assigned to Tent B-1 (VIP) it says can't imagine any different from the others.
Well thats it for now, miss every one and keep the posts coming.
Love Ya all
