Al Udeid, Quatar
After 25 + hours of traveling and watching two sunrises I made it to Al Udeid. Definitely, the sunrise was much more impressive over the green lush landscape of Ireland compared to the sunrise over the barren dessert of Al Udeid. It was impressive flying over Iraq and Kuwait and seeing hundreds of pulsating flames from the oil fields in the dark as we made our way to Al Udeid. After 6 hours of immigrating into the country and receiving yet another bag full of gear I finally was given a bunk bed assignment in a tent on the Coalition Camp. Taking a shower and putting on AF pt shorts and shirt never felt so good!

Well, I'm sure you are glad that the journey getting there is almost coming to an end. It's crazy to imagine that in the last few days you have traveled through three continents...these are experiences that you'll never forget. I'm sure it felt great to sleep on a bed, even if it was in a tent after such a long journey. So I guess no first class seats after all:).

You know it's been a long trip when you are happy to be in AF PT gear. Glad to hear you finally had a chance to get a little rest. Can't wait to hear how Balad is. Take care and keep in touch.
