The Trip

For those keeping score at home:

I was delayed at the helipad for 24 hours. I spent the night on the floor of the TV room there. I spent all day sitting around and began reading my new book The Intelligent Investor. Later that night I had the greatest feeling ever: leaving Sadr City. I'll describe this more later. We arrived at Baghdad International Airport where we settled in for another day-long wait. I arrived at BIAP at 0100 and my flight to Kuwait did not leave until 0130. I was wrong: I did not fly on a C-17. Instead, we flew on a C-130. Lots of fun. I am now in Kuwait and awaiting a time to fly to America. Patience, young Grasshopper.
