well, obviously I made it to Iraq. iT was pretty uneventful. One stop in germany then right to Basra. It was strange getting off the plane because at night, all you can see is the glow of the oil well fires in the distance. It stinks a little and is very dusty. It's not too bad though. Internet and phone both are difficult to come by at this point, but I think it will get better.
I will get some photos hopefully by next week. Hope everyone is doing well back home.
for another idea of how things are going, visit nwherald.com and look under the blogs for the real lt dan. I'm writing for my local newspaper. I think it will start to appear today.
Hugs and kisses from the crappiest place on earth (just kidding - 2nd crappiest).
Dan
