Tired After Traveling for 20+ Hours

Hey there. We're at the Manas airfield in Bishkek(?) Kyrgyzstan for the time being. We are 10 hours ahead of the east coast. It's 2314 (11:14 pm) here and I am bushed. We traveled for roughly 24 hours, about 16 of that was in the air. Baltimore to Germany to Turkey to Kyrgyzstan. Same plane, but three different flight crews. Tired just doesn't explain how I feel right now; I'm beyond that. My head feels fuzzy and I'm having a hard time reading my own writing. This is as far east as I have ever travelled, so the jet lag is going to be rough for a few days. I should be leaving for Khandahar - my final destination - sometime tomorrow. Everybody is safe and well. Too tired to write any more, so I'll talk to y'all later. Time to go pass out in my bunk.

Take care,

-Dave

  1. Glad to hear everything is going well...but when doesn't a vacation go well?!? A few words of advice...1) Don't drop the soap. 2) Yellow Cake is some scary s***. 3) If she walks, talks, and looks like a man, more than likely she is. 4) Operation "Don't ask don't tell" is in effect...can anybody say 'Brokeback Khandahar'???

    Haha!!! I'm just messing with you. Keep up with informing us of how everything is going...I enjoy reading some of these stories. Especially the one about the 'Donkey Parties'.

    Don't forget the Absinte!!!

    Later,
