Almost home!

Hey Followers!

Well, after many aborted attempts, me and my team finally made it to Manas Air Base in Kyrgystan. It is cold here with snow on the ground; good way to get acclimatized(?) to the weather back home.

Sorry for not writing for so long. It was a busy time doing "turn-over" with our replacements. Also, we had to move out of our rooms so they could move in, resulting in a loss of internet access. Air flow in theater has been affected by snow here in Manas and the earthquake in Haiti, believe it or not. Air assets have been redirected to assist in the relief effort. I know it is a nobel cause and the right thing to do, I just hate the fact that it is delaying my return trip. (Cold hearted, I know, but I gotta be honest.)

If all goes as planned, I should be getting into Baltimore sometime Tuesday morning, East Coast time. I need to out-process at the base, so I'll likely not get back to the house until sometime Wednesday. Haven't been there since June 14th - seems like eons ago.

Sorry for not having any pictures to share. I'll try to put up a few on my next - and probably last - post. Until then...

Take care!

-Dave
