Well I made it. After numerous delays the flight finally left Columbia at about 0100 on Sunday. It was 1300 local time on Monday when I set foot on the ground in Djibouti. It was interesting to not have to deal with TSA security being it was a chartered flight, especially with most of us carrying firearms in the cabin. We passed over Greenland prior to our second stop in Reykjavik, Iceland. Check out the photo of Greenland from 35,000 feet.
Next was Budapest, Hungary where many of my shipmates with final destinations in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Kuwait enjoyed one final visit to the airport pub. I then spent about an hour in Kuwait prior to the last leg to Djibouti.
