... spent falling in and out of a night of fragile sleep... listening to prayers, snores and other bodily functions going bump in the night... Being very thankful once I entered into the plane that took off at 7:00 the following morning... whisking me away from a hellish evening of unpleasant noises and rank smells... Driving up the hill to the Bilkent Campus... hugging my family...  settling into my own apartment... eagerly awaiting an evenings rest in my very own bed...  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Despite the turbulence of its recent history, Kuwait today is once again beginning to reflect its status as an oil-rich nation. In 1990 Iraq claimed Kuwait as its 19th province, but the Iraqis were expelled by a United States led alliance in a short war in 1991, and now the country is separated from its threatening neighbor by a wall along its border. The ruined capital, Kuwait City, has risen from the ashes of war to become a buzzing metropolis with gleaming high rises ...

Well, there are more benefits of the Hilton. First, there are women in bikinis who are not related to the people at work. I didn't go to the Ramadan tent for dinner, but you could eat out on the beach. Now it is time to go home.

At least one good thing during Ramadan. Met up with my old technical manager from my chemical plant days. Wasn't expecting to run into him over here.

Our new home - ain't it great? Not only do we have air conditioning - we have better TV station channels, internet, and better restaraunts.

... sopped up with fresh chappati style bread.....the only down side, most of the staff were grumpy and unhelpful! We ended the evening shopping in the new Marina Mall and having dessert in The Chocolate Bar, a funky cafe selling all things...well chocolate...Walking home and warding off our sugar rush we watched as the streets became crammed with traffic and locals all out after breaking the fast and celebrating during the night. Kuwait is actually a very lively city.

... been receiving packages hand over fist. Thankyou to all of you who have sent them, it is greatly appreciated and it makes the day a little bit better every time one arrives. Well that's about it for another couple of weeks. I will tell you all about Dubai after the port visit is over and we have started Patrol 3. Oh by the way, today is Hump Day - that is to say that today is exactly half way through the deployment and it is all down hill from here. Bye for now, Love Bruce (Jock) (Daddy)

Kuwait! After nearly 18 or so numbing hours in the air and traveling, we had pretty uneventful flights. The only crisis encountered was running out of my favorite smints. We were subjected to many hours of classic disney cartoons like Pluto and Daffy Duck, and mid-flight movies like "flubber" with Robin Williams. Okay, I admit to liking the cartoons. Mike on the other hand chose to sleep through most them. Mike gave me a crash course on the Arabic laungage and I read my laugage books. The man ...
