Mission:Complete


Got back last night after my coolest flight ever. Was a 3 hour long flight though as we made 5 stops, but the pilots flew way low, and I saw some good sites I was wanting to see including the place where it all began!
BABYLON!!!!
Yes, the place where Alexander the Great died in 322 B.C., and a place that I wanted to get to since I got here! We flew right over and I got pics of the ruins, and the Saddam versin of the Tower of Babel! If you go to my photos I have tons of mission photos, and you even have to go to the page before the last one to see all the new photos!
Aside from that we got back fine, and enjoyed sleeping in my bed, which I also have a photo of!
Just kind of decompressing and checking email, and ctching up on blogs from last week.
I can't wait to call my wife and kids today, and I hear Hunter tried waterskiing for the first time at the cabin! Yeah, he wouldn't do it for me! That is OK, I am proud of him.
A great thing about being here is that I have VIVID dreams of my family on a nightly basis, but the bad thing about that is I have dreams about them on a nightly basis! I like spending time with them in my dreams, but then you wake up! So It is cool, but it sucks at the same time!
Other than that we are just getting ready for the nxt mission by doing NOTHING!! I LOVE IT!
Hopefully everyone is having a great start to the week, and check out the pics!
Later,
Erik
