Back Home

Well It is Sunday morning and I have been back home in Minnesota for two days now and still have not been able to get on the correct sleep schedule. I woke up this morning at 0330 and have been waiting to go to the gym. The old Rainbow Foods off 42 & 5 has become an LA Fitness. Kristen & I went up to LA Fitness yesterday and got memberships. It is very convenient for both of us, it being so close to our home. Any how, as you can see by the picture I have been catching up on my sleep the couple days. I am going to spend most of my day looking at cars online. I need to find one in the next couple days so I have some sort of transportation. So ya I will have more later I guess...

St. John's Newfoundland

These are photos from my hotel room in the Murray Premises. So I landed in St. John's Newfoundland yesterday afternoon at 1300. Headed down to the bay area where you can find my hotel the Murray Premises. This old historic warehouse was transformed into St. John's very first boutique hotel. The only think I do not like is the fact that the elevator only goes to the 3rd floor. Quiescently I am on the 4th floor. We will be heading back home today some time early this morning. I am already up for the day so I am going to try to find some food.

Prestwick Scotland

I got into


Prestwick at 1330 local time and we refueled the aircraft and headed to our hotel. I am staying at the Fairfield right out side of down town Prestwick by the ocean.
They have a restaurant down stairs where I ate an 8oz sirloin steak and had some chips (French Fries) with it.
We will be leaving tomorrow morning for St. Johns Canada. It is an eight hour flight from Scotland to Canada so it will be a long day.
Here are some pictures of my room in Prestwick.

Bucharest Romania

Bucharest Romania

Well I did it, 133 days in Afghanistan, I really feel bad for those people that are there for the long haul. That place is not conducive to the American way of life. There are just to many things missing.
Right now I am sitting down in the lobby at the Radisson hotel in Bucharest Romania waiting to leave for Scotland. It is only am matter of days now until I can see my beautiful wife again, I am so excited!
Well I will write more when I get home.
Oh ya two pictures form the lobby.
