Well after 22hrs straight travel ,4hrs checking in and waiting, 10 hr flight from Mia to Frankfurt, 3.5hr layover in Germany and then another 5 hour flight to Larnaca Cyprus we made it ! Adam was perfect lil gent and only made everyone crazy once because he wanted togo home and go to sleep I didnt really sleep but kinda dozed off a bit but was awoken by an angry Lufthansa stewardess cuz Adam discovered the call button and kept pushing it . Since I dont speak german I just looked at her and said "un huh" .
7hrs ahead of eastern time now so my clock is all messed up. Adam is fine.

So heres some pics of our trip over..

Heres the happy couple full of energy after just getting dropped off at Mia airport

That's GREAT Saiid!...i'm happy for you and your son...looks like a wonderful trip he'll never forget. L8R, Bill. :cool:
 
Thanks for sharing.
Does it get sandy as you go out?
The rocks may be hard on the feet, but it makes for a easy clean up after the beach:thumbsup:
 
great pics Blanca :beerchug: i would love to go back to cyprus.spent 6 months there back in 91 with the UN.great peaple and a beautiful country:thumbsup:
 
Now comes the hard part...Afghanistan...good luck...

Keith there is a remote chance I may be able to get the signature in Qatar at another base , very remote. It has been on my mind constantly. I am almost to the point where I'm gonna let the attys handle it no matter how long it takes. I just don't want to go to afg.
 
Great pics Saiid! Thanks for sharing. Looks like Adam is holding up better than you. Good luck on the not going to Afg. thing. Be safe.
 
Thanks for posting up, Saiid! It looks like you guys are having a great time. :thumbsup:
 
:bowdown: very cool you get to share things like this. Adam has already traveled thousands of miles further then me! I am assuming your father is doing better as well, more great news :thumbsup:

Enjoy your travels and time with your son, be safe! :beerchug:

Then it was Mickey D's for dinner at about 9pm cuz Adam had to have a Royal Deluxe. I promise I wasn't hungry...:laugh:
And yes thats 5.30 Euros for a meal which is about $8 bucks...Ouch.
Meals for 4 was almost $50 bucks with everything Adam wanted...I promise I wasn't hungry. Think I had one of everything ! :rofl:
Notice the 'Greek Chicken" on a pita and the 'Veggie Burger' ?
