safe!!

Well, I am safe in Iraq now. The trip was interesting. First we boarded the plane in point Mugu. then we flew down to riverside and picked up some marines. Then it was a 4 hour flight to Bangor, ME. (Stephen Kings Home.) We had a layover of 12 hours, because the rudder on the plane needed to be fixed. After the 12 hour layover we flew 6 hours to Germany. We were there for only 45 minutes. (just long enough to fuel the plane.) Then we flew on to Kuwait international. We were driven 1 hour to camp Morrell, Kuwait. There we stayed for 3 days while we received additional training. After that, we were put onboard a C130 and flown to Iraq. We were packed in like sardines on the C130. It was such a relief to be able to stand up and stretch our legs. Then we arrived at our destination. While I was in Kuwait, I could have sworn that we were in Southern Arizona, if it wasn't for the camels, and the arabic writing on everything. Kuwait is paradise compared to Iraq. Kuwait is richer. No wonder Saddam Hussein invaded it in the 1990's. Anyway, Love all of you!!
