2 May - We are in country

We arrive into Iraq just after the break of dawn on Friday morning. Forgive me for taking a day to get this info on the blog but it was a long day of traveling. We had been up for 31+ hours trying to get into Iraq so needless to say I was in no shape to sit at a computer and recount the hurry-up and wait games that we played over the last few days. In addition to our long trip we had 4 brief to attend prior to getting the opportunity to hit the rack. Today we will finish adjusting our body clocks and start getting acquainted with our work spaces. Tomorrow we will begin flying. I will try to post some pictures in the next few blogs so keep checking in on my progress as the days go by. The weather here today is beautiful, a cool 70 degrees and a light breeze out of the west - its only going to get hotter from here on out. Thanks for reading and enjoy your weekend.
