So the orders and travel worked themselves out. Which is usually the case, just ALWAYS at the last minute it seems. The old 'hurry up and wait' cliche applies... or this one...
I'm off to Italy tomorrow via New Jersey (whaa?). Sure, I could fly direct, but what fun would that be? The hardest part will be saying bye to the family, especially the youngest.
I spend a few days in Naples then it's back across 'the pond' to Virginia and catch the ship. The travel gets even weirder from there. Not sure when I'll post again, so have a Happy 2009! Don't forget to eat your black eyed peas.
Nice blog! Hey, just glad you're not going to Somalia right now.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened? You let Red book your travel arrangements, didn't you? tsk. tsk.
ReplyDeleteBe safe and know that I deeply appreciate your leaving your (amazingly beautiful) family to serve our country.
