Tuesday December 20 is finally here.... Miles and Miles!

 Hey folks ~ Back again!

 Let me try to get through this one real fast since there really isn't that much to blog about.... Unless of course you want to hear about airplane food, or something stupid like that. This day actually did last a lot longer than most - Literally! Due to the direction of flight I ended up with many more hours in my Tuesday than most people will ever see.

 It was pretty typical for the most part - Extremely early morning flight, supposed to be a full flight, blah, blah... So the plane did appear to be filling up ~ So much for having an empty seat beside me. Just a note here: I am typically a window seat kind of guy. I like the view, and it gives me a place to rest my head other than some strange persons shoulder. Today's flight was a center plane aisle seat, and I was actually okay with that. It was a thirteen hour flight from Kuwait to Washington D.C., and being on the aisle allows me to get up and stretch, and hit the toilet without constantly having to wake people up. So anyway, back to the full plane... Everything seemed to be full, but there was still a large quantity of seats empty just back and to my left. This is when I discovered why.... What was this I spied walking down the aisle towards me?? It was the Washington Redskin Cheerleaders!! I believe it was the JV team, because some of them looked so young. Young or not they are all very beautiful girls, and it is very cool that they come over to visit the troops! I wish I could tell you that I had some pictures, but I didn't have my camera on me at this time, and by the end of the flight I would have probably been killed if they caught me taking their pictures. I did have some fun joking with one of the girls, and she gave me her blanket because I was cold ~ Sweet Girl!
 Finally we hit D.C. and I barely had enough time to make it through immigration, customs, and on to my next flight ~ Denver! FLY,FLY,FLY.... Now we are landing in Denver, and my other plane to Portland is just starting to board. Good thing it was only five gates away! FLY,FLY,FLY..... Finally after many grueling days of travel I AM HOME in Oregon.



 I left the airport after grabbing my luggage, and it was off to get my wonderful rental car ~ FORD Focus ~ Actually a comfortable little ride... Not too bad!


 Here we go ~ Headed out of Portland south on Interstate 5 towards home - Salem. I had to make me a quick stop to grab me a cup of Peet's Coffee and then back on the road again. It is now late afternoon, and I have made it home.



 Hey, it is my bed.... Haven't seen that in a while ~~~ Mmmmmm.... Memory Foam!




Oh well, no time for sleep yet... Off to do some shopping with my Friends kids, and then it was home and some sleep!
I know it is pretty boring right now, but I promise that it will get better, and it will get caught up. We do have California coming up next week, and three weeks in Thailand right around the corner!
See you on the next post ~ Stay Positive ~ Leo
