Just got back from a week away on business in Kauai. It was absolutely beautiful. I would liken it to a Tropical West Virginia, very rural in comparison to Oahu. The island is chock-full of scenic beauty but I didn’t really get too much time away from work to go exploring. Take a look at my Flickr Photostream for some great pix taken with my Apple iPhone.
Today some of my coworkers and I participated in a golf tournament up at Klipper Golf Course on the Kaneohe Marine Corps Base. It was a VERY long day, at almost 6 hours on the course. Our team was unfortunate enough to get stuck behind a very slow group and we paid the price all day. To make matters worse, I now have one of the worst sun burns I’ve had since I’ve moved out to Hawaii. I look like a damn raccoon. We came in at 3 under for the day and had a pretty good time. I posted photos in the gallery and on Flickr so if you were on the team and wanted to check out what I snapped, go for it.
While we were waiting for our flight from Qatar to Amsterdam, we helped some of our Armory friends clean some of the weapons in their arsenal. After cleaning about 80 weapons, we decided to take a photo-op and this is just one example of the many photos we took with the weapons. Take a peek in the gallery.
Ray & I just got back to the United States after our 2 month deployment to Iraq. It feels GREAT to be home. On our flight back, we were fortunate enough to catch a 6 hour lay-over in Amsterdam, Holland and we took the opportunity to go out and see some sights. Unfortunately it was 7am when we finally got downtown and most everything was closed, but it was still a lot of fun to the see the city and I definitely want to plan a trip back in the near future for a few days. I can’t believe how many bicycles saw while we were there. Okay well more later.
It’s been nearly two months now since I left Hawaii and I can honestly say that I’ve never been more excited to get back home. I’ve been to pretty much every site there is to see out here in Iraq, Kuwait, and Qatar and I’m pretty burnt out. In our first two weeks alone, we racked up a solid 236 hours of work.
After fifty some odd days of seventeen hour sessions, I’ve had enough. I can’t wait to come back to my little rock and see everyone. Take care and with any luck, I’ll be back before the end of the March!
Interestingness...
