L’Italia
So I finally made it to R&R, and am enjoying the sites in Rome. In typical military fashion, they’ll let us take a break, but won’t make it easy! From the late bus ride out of camp, to the C-130 ride out of Prishtina, to the ridiculous briefings, to the civilian that almost made me miss my flight because he thought I needed yet another briefing….you get the idea.
It was after midnight when I eventually got to the hotel, even though I got up at 0600, so it was nice to have a king size bed to relax in with my beautiful bride.
Well, I’m holding up the show here…we’re about to go see the sites. So I’ll check in later!

Niels and Nicollette, I just wanted to say I hope you enjoy your R&R. Nicollette, I tried calling just the other day to get together for coffee, but I guess you’re having a much better time in Italy now! Let’s get together when you get home … Barb Boelk

Boy, this brought back memories of when my Suzie and I had R&R from Vietnam in Hawaii. What a hassle to get there (almost exactly the things you mentioned) but once there, a fantasy come true. I know you two enjoyed it…Don St. Dennis
