The Doctor Does Gitmo
Nov. 19th, 2009 02:20 pm
Ten came with me to Guantanamo Bay. He was quite firm on it, wanted to inspect the premises and all that. It's what he does.
Except he only ended up inspecting the terminal. He kinda sorta lost the sonic screwdriver (okay fine, losing it was my fault! I can own up to my own mistakes. Ten is NOT pleased though) so since the sonic was gone, he wasn't able to get out of the terminal and check out Gitmo. He'll have you know though that the Souvenir shop is great fun (I now have a t-shirt that says Guantanamo Bay: It don't Gtmo better then this!) and the cafeteria makes really good Jerk Chicken. So overall, the Doctor liked Gitmo - at least the terminal bits were nice. We won't mention what happened when one of the pilot's tried to eat him.

It also doesn't help that the sonic screwdriver is SO TINY. I've lost both of mine.

So, How and who where your passengers?

I think, considering the location, an 'airport appreciation stay' was the most I wanted out of Gitmo. Although my friends would have thought it hysterical if I had stayed longer.
We transported the Puerto Rican National Guard up to New Jersey because God forbid they actually GO HOME. They were fun though, extremely feisty, but that just made the flight more interesting. These guys were more enthusiastic about leaving Gitmo then the soldiers we've taken out of Iraq.
