Hello from "The Deid"

Now that our "good deal" stopover in Sicily is over, it was back to reality today as we arrived in Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The first thing we noticed when we got off the plane is that it was HOT! Temperatures were over 115...nearly double what they were in Maine. The fact that it is a "dry heat" really doesn't matter. We spent the afternoon walking around in a sleep deprived and dehydrated daze familiarizing ourselves with the base and its amenities. Overall, all I can say is that I'm glad I won't be here all that long!
