It was a long trip over, all total we were on the plane for more then 14 hours. Ive driven for longer periods then that and didn't feel half as tired as I did when I stepped off the plane. I'm guessing that jet-lag is a true and viable phenomenon. Anyway, watched some decent movies on the plane, wrote short letters to my children, unfortunately the turn-around on postage is pretty slow, Ive heard it can take up to two weeks :( But I did get them written anyhow :)
Right now we are just cooling our heels on the base here. I am not sure exactly where here is, but it seems to be and in processing installation, where all branches of the military visit when they go and come from Afghanistan. I'm not sure what about it I am allowed to talk about and what I am not, so to take the side of caution, that's about all I am going to say.
The surrounding is, well, pretty neat I guess. I am still working the issue with my phone and taking pictures and getting them transferred to my computer, I have a couple of options, guess I am being lazy, as it takes forever for the required hardware drivers and software to transfer over. I'll get rambunctious at some point and get it done. Till then I guess it'll just be boring text. Sorry. One of the coolest things around here is the mountains that can be seen over the barrier walls. The scenery itself reminds me of so many movies I have watched where the setting has taken place in this area. It's almost surreal, seeing the buildings and vegetation being exactly what was in the movies. Always in the back of my mind I thought places don't really exist like that. A person has to see it to believe it, especially when one hasn't the first hand experience. Honestly I feel like I am in a dream world. I suppose it will turn real enough, soon enough. Anyway, as more happens, I'll keep this thing up-to-date.
And kids, I miss you guys. I love you and hopefully talk to you soon :)
