Sep. 29th, 2006 08:16 pmI'm back in the South!!
*falls to the ground and clutches it tightly*
I could wax lyrical about what a great relief it is to be in the land of southern drawls and hospitality and good mexican food. Unfortunately, I've got no time to spend in Boloxi outside of eating a meal, checking my e-mail and going to sleep. It's up bright and early in the morning to ferry our wonderful military over to Germany (where my trip ends for the next 36 hours) and then onto Kuwait. After doing Africa trips last month this one will be a relief. There's a world of difference between military passengers and commercial passengers. All the military wants it something to eat, something to drink and to be left alone because they will sleep for the entire flight (usually in extremely odd contortions that result in having to clamber over limbs without trying to wake them up - my last flight I ended up with dust all over my pants from their boots from all the clambering)
I'm hoping to get into Berlin and maybe possibly Prague while I'm in Germany. My purser is talking about renting a car and driving into Prague but my mother is telling me that when they were in Germany they had to swear not to take the rental car into the Eastern Bloc, so we shall see what happens (Personally, I like trains. You don't have to deal with parking and driving and all sorts of other hassles.)
Well, I'm off. Gotta get up at 4:30 in the morning. *groans*

Oh goodness. 24 hours?!! That's just wrong. *laugh* Sleep well.
