The flight i was dreading
Well the flight wasn't too bad. It was long....15 hours, but fortunately we got to stop in Ireland for a much needed break. Didn't get to do a pub crawl or anything, had to stay in the airport which was the size of GSP it seemed like. Would have bought some gifts for the family but everything in there you could buy in the U.S. All made in china. I didn't even have to take a Dramamine at all on the flight, I can't believe it. We arrived in Kuwait on Saturday afternoon at around 4 after leaving the states at 5pm on friday. One heck of a time change. We were bussed to Ali Al Salem a camp nearby and were stuck there for a few hours. After scanning our Id's to officially start my deployment we got our gear from a bunch of trucks and were bussed to another base nearby. We got in there around 2pm and were given our tent assignments around 3. I crashed. Didn't wake up until 11am. I promise there will be pictures to come......
