Gato's post from the shoutbox:
I left Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia (now closed) on 3 SEP 03 at o-dark 30, and flew to Crete. An hour and a half later, I was flying (on the same plane) on my way to Germany. Once in Germany, I bought a few tasty beverages, whiled away another couple hours, and I was back in the air. Landed an eternity later in Iceland. 4 hours on the ground, and back on the same plane for another leg. This time to Gander in Nova Scotia. A couple of beverages later, I was back on the plane (by this point, it was a trip from hell), for the final leg to Baltimore/Washington International. By the time I cleared customs (with a few tasty beverages intact), it was too late to catch a flight home, so I slept at Embassy Suites for about 4 hours. Unfortunately, I was only supposed to sleep for about 3 and one half hours. Niether phone calls, nor that insipid alarm clock could wake me. My team chief, on the other hand, gained access to my room, and I was rudely awakened. Then it was back to the airport, and onto a flight from BWI to Charlotte, and then home. It's good to be home, but damn is it humid here...![]()
Welcome back honey. Glad to see you're home safe and sound.
