He Called!

Got a call at 7:00 am this morning from Dan. He made it to Bagdad after 53 of no sleep, 18 hours of flying, and 5 hours of carrying all his bags around. His next adventure is 7 - 10 days in a 25 man tent, sleeping in bunk beds with a hard mattress. His first meal was in the center of a bunch of 18 and 19 year olds. He still has hope that once he get to where he is working the conditions will be better. He is not complaining but extremely tired.


However, I was very excited to hear from him! He was able to buy a 500 minute phone card. He is 8 hours ahead of us. He starts his training classes on Saturday, so he will have some down time to get some well needed sleep and acclimated to his surrounding. Hopefully he will find out where the computers are today.

I'm glad he made it there safely, hopefully comfort and adjustment doesn't evade him for too long. Thanks for keeping us updated on this new adventure!
