Travels and other things

Well it all started by leaving Bagram Afghanistan Thursday evening on a C-17 to Al Udied, Qatar. The plane was practically empty with one soldier and 3 civilians.

I flew in to Scotland on Saturaday afternoon from Doha Qatar. I had been there for over 24 hours at the airport because I had come from the Air Base a little late for the only British Air flight of the day. They only fly once a day, so I had to wait till friday night for the next one.

I arrived a day ahead of Susan, Val, Tucker and Nick. We have been getting shown around by Susan's sister Mabel. She has taken us to castles, cities, skateparks and ofcouse the train station yesterday so we could take the 2 1/2 hour trip to Edenbough to see the sights. It was drizzle most of the day.

This is Susan standing on the corner waiting for the kids to catch up and the kids in front of the castle. We shopped, ate fish and chips, saw the National Museum and came back exhausted.
