Well, last day before heading into Afghanistan. We got here yesterday evening. The days have seemed so long and tiring. We're chasing the daylight, but can't seem to catch it. Every place we've been, because of the time change, we seem to just get there in time for dinner and bed.
The first night in St. John's, Newfoundland we lost an hour and a half and had a really early show the next morning, then when we got to Scotland, we lost another two and a half, and here in Romania we lost another 2. So here, we are 6 hours ahead. Unfortunately, James and my big sister are in California...so that's a nine hour difference... Then tomorrow, when we get into Bagram, we will lose another two..I guess I should be saying I'm gaining two...( I don't mind gaining them there...It just gets me two hours closer to getting home :)
Actually, I don't want to sound like I am only wanting to get back. I'm very excited to get there and start working!! I've trained so so so long to get here and I think I will feel very rewarded when this mission is complete. I just know how much I will miss my husband, family and friends with limited communication.
So far, the jet lag hasn't hit me. I had a little trouble sleeping last night, but I think that is only because I was trying so hard. We have a 2:30 am show tomorrow morning, and I'm flying the leg into Afghanistan, so I'm trying to stay as rested as possible. The past three nights I've also tried to take in all the comforts of my own room and comfy bed. I think I'm trying to absorb it so much it's keeping me awake... Only me, the overthinker :)
After trying to sleep in, I met some of my crew in the lobby to wander the streets of Romania. It is quite different than Scotland!! No green grass...lots of dogs..no dog walkers! We walked down to the Black Sea, the water was beautiful, but the beach was filled with stray dogs and filth! Now, back to the room to try to get some more rest. I miss you guys!!
