Adventure part 5
06.14.04 (5:35 am) [edit]
We boarded a bus this morning from Rein-Main (frankfurt) to Ramstein AF Base. It was a 2 hours bus ride. We made it and actually got a flight! Just as we got to the plane on the flight line, the driver told us to wait. He went and talked to the pilot, and turns out, they haven't even [b]STARTED[/b] to fix the engine that is broken on the plane. SOOOO he took us back to the terminal and here we wait for 3 hours while they attempt to fix it. He said we'll try again then. LOL I think I'm jinxed!!!!!
Will write again once I get settled, so please check back!!
I miss you guys!

Baby steps... at least you finally got a flight this time :).

This all is happening for a reason. When you are back home you can write an epic saga about your adventures just trying to get to Iraq :).

Ah my Dear, I keep telling you, all this stress is just because you haven't adjustd your expectations. You must stop looking for logic, planning, sensible allocation of resources, or even for gravity to work. You're in the army now! Logic went out the window several weeks ago, remember? Just practice "going to your happy place" while standing up and holding all you gear. . . all your stress will soon be gone! Well, actually, maybe you'd feel better if you could just deck somebody - that is another approach. Hope you get moving soon so we can start the real countdown!
Love you!!
Mom
