Departure from the US


The day started early with chow and baggage line up and inspection (see picture).
It took around 5 hours to get to the tarmac. I have been waiting most
of the day at a holding area near the flight line (see picture), and
we have now been staged to board our aircraft. It happened sort of
unexpectedly (if not quickly) so I haven't had a chance to call
everyone I wanted to call before my departure. To those I have not
spoken with today: I will update the blog just as soon as I have
arrived in theater and have access to the Internet. I promise that I
will be safe in Bagram and will return home soon. Thank you for taking
such good care of Matthew while James and I are away. I love you all.
