Mood:  not sure
Topic: Posts While on R&R
This afternoon I will begin my long trip back to Iraq. Almost all the flights to the Middle East from Europe leave in the late afternoon, which means I won't get to Amman until the the weeeee hours of the morning. This means I will only get a few hours of sleep before departing Amman for Iraq.

When I first flew into Iraq, I was very worried about entering a war zone with very little sleep. Now, I don't really worry about it because I can easily sleep on the plane from Amman to Iraq. I no longer have any trouble sleeping onto the way to Iraq. I have tuned out most of my deep-seeded concerns about security to let myself live as normal a life as possible.
