Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!! I cannot believe that the busy holiday season has come and gone. I wanted to take a moment to wish everybody out there in blog land a long overdue MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR. I hope that everyone back home had a truly happy holiday season. I am hoping that somebody out there even got a white Christmas. Having a white Christmas is something that we don’t really have to worry about here in Djibouti. I think the daytime high on Christmas Day here was a chilly 88 degrees F. You might even say that we have been having a Djiboutian cold snap.

We have been busy flying all around the horn. Since I last updated you folks, we have had numerous missions –flying to places like Aden, Yemen, Addis Ababa Ethiopia, Gulu and Entebbe Uganda, and back down to the Comoros. I even managed to get in an overnight in Madagascar. (And no, sorry to disappoint but there were no animated animals running around) It’s been busy-but that’s ok, we are doing what we came here to do. Not to mention the view from 20000 feet gets pretty spectacular.

Everyone in the office got lots of support from the folks back home. Packages, cards, and almost daily reminders from you all at home helped us keep our spirits up over the holiday season. Thank you all very much!

88 degrees? Did I read 88 degrees? Well that's nothing....it's a warm 27 degrees here in sunny Hotlanta:)

Your crazy soldier supporter
