May Day

Well, May in Iraq is kinda like Florida. Minus the nice beaches and greenery. There have been ridiculous thunderstorms here daily and its made flying really interesting. I never thought I would land at an airfield in Iraq in a torrential down pour. Its been raining off and on for days and the sky reminds me of Oregon. Kind of a neat experience.

On the flip side, I just found out that instead of going to luxurious Turkey for the second half, I will be staying in 'hot-as-heck' Kuwait for awhile. Not really happy about that as I was supposed to get a trip to the med, but me complaining about that wont help anything. So I went online and bought some sweet electronics for myself as a present and now am ready to go. I think the kindle and new sennheiser headphones should really help me not hate this place as much. haha

Well the accommodations here are much worse, smaller rooms with a roommate. But there is a common room that everybody hangs out in so you see a lot of friends here that I didn't in Manas. All in all, I'm trying to make the best of it, that's all a guy can do.
