Heading home for some R&R

Well tonight I should find out what time my flight out of Shank leaves.  I can't wait to get home and see the wife and girls.  I am not looking forward to the extreme hassle of the travel though.  I have heard that it should take days to get home.  Oh well, at least I will be on my way home. The weather here has started to heat up pretty quickly.  I no longer need to wear a jacket everywhere which is nice.  I have been able to go on a couple of nice long runs around the perimeter of the base.  The altitude here is almost 7,000 feet MSL.  When we first arrived running for more than about 6 minutes was almost impossible. Now it doesn't seem as bad.  Well next time I post I should be back in the states!
