Ive never felt this way before

Hello all. Suprise. I have a computer at my hotel. I am in Kuwait. We are starting our second morning.

The plane? Awesome. I loved all three rides, and we managed to make it through JFK with little trouble, the embassy flew us first class so we got spoiled in one of the lounges while we were laid over, it was great. I am planning on meeting the infamous hyde when we stop in NYC for the night on the 23rd, if I get ahold of her, so I'm eager to tell you about the legend herself...

Yesterday was a handful of new experiences, and things I'll likely never do again. I saw the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, I flew over Baghdad airspace and looked down on the city. I had dinner with a Ministry of Foreign Affairs official and spent the night sightseeing in a beautiful city where men and women my age were driving porches like they were hondas and listening to American rap at the top of their stereo volume. And everone honks and waves at us, it almost feels like celebrity, they really like us here. I am really, really suprised. We went to a shopping mall on the Persian Gulf, I'll be sure to take a picture and show it to ou guys. Its so amazing.

And life couldnt be better, we have our own rooms! No Bambis [which arent so bad, really, I'll tell you more about them later] no sharing showers or setting sleep and getting ready schedules. Its nice. I have a gorgeous king suite all to myself and I am loving every minute of it.

I am having a great time, and I am hoping I'll be able to tell you more as the week goes on. I miss you all.

PS- yes, I am well aware I quoted a movie theme song lyric in my title, bite me.

Flash, love, are you ever wrong?! ;) as concerns me anyway?

I am having an excellent time though.

Mystic, its good to see you around again, it really is, I keep meaning to drop by your new place with a housewarming gift...

Aravis, sweetheart, I keep forgetting to tell you how glad I am you still come by despite how terribly neglectful I am with everyone's comments anymore. You're comments are like receiving a bouquet of jasmine and lilys in the morning. A sweet breath of fresh air...and always pleasant.

Well, I think you're a pretty terrific person and I like to keep up with what you're up to. You've been really busy for the past couple of months, but in the best of ways. I'll keep coming to cheer you on! *G*
