22 SEPTEMBER 2008

The day was spent running through airports because of cancelled and delayed flight originating from Pittsburgh. I just barely made my connection from LA to Auckland, New Zealand. Four of the Security Forces guys from New York were on my flight, it is amazing how we military types stick out like sour thumbs! The plane was relatively empty and I shared a 4 person row of seats with one other person. I was actually able to get comfortable enough to sleep for a number of hours. I am already running out of books to read--2 books down, 2 more to go!
