Dubai, UAE, at 2115 – Monday
My day, well this day anyway, started in the air over the Atlantic enroute to the Middle East. As I write this, my son is likely fast asleep and dreaming of his daddy. Sleep is always difficult for me, for any appreciable length of time, aboard aircraft. This flight was no exception; however, I did manage a few hours of restless sleep and when it was there, so was my beautiful son.
We landed in Dubai without event and much to my satisfaction at around 1925 Dubai time. I bumped into a fellow US Army Corps of Engineers coworker at Washington-Dulles last night. He has a reservation at a hotel near the Dubai airport. I ended sharing a cab with him here and rented a room. With nearly 15 hours of wait between my two flights to get to Kandahar, it will be good to sleep in a bed, connect with home via the internet, and soak in a hot bath for the last time until December – we have showers, with running hot water, but no bath tubs for our leisure.
Tomorrow is another day.
143, Kaesen.
Good night and good day.
