Back in the Sandbox

For those of you keeping track, I am back in Kuwait.  I arrived early this morning.  I had several long flights and was ready for a shower.  I came through customs, waited for the bus that would bring us back to the base, lined up when it was time, and walked through the doors outside.  I got smacked in the face by a hot, dusty wind.  We were right in the middle of a good one-sandstorm that is.  A lady I had been talking to said "Welcome back."  Welcome back indeed.  It felt like someone threw sand in my eyes.  It seems the sand has messed with a lot of travel plans so I might have to stay here longer than I wanted.  Oh well.  I have several things to write about but I am going to wait until I get back to Taji and am using my computer.  Until then, lots of love-M.
