10/26 - a visit to Quantico, and then at 10pm we board a plane for a 12-hour flight to Kuwait.
10/27 - the sun is setting over Kuwait City when we land. We came in over Iraq. All I saw out the window was sandy desert until we reached the Persian Gulf, so I was prepared for heat, but not the humidity. I expected desert air but apparently the Gulf keeps the humidity high - at least this time of year. Security is high for us as we board a bus and head for the Missoni Hotel: an advance team leads the way and a chase car stays close behind. USO treats us to dinner at the hotel, then we head to our rooms. I'm 7 hours ahead of east coast time - which means my body still thinks its 3 p.m. Sleep proves elusive.
