Finally Goin'

Well here I am at the Atlanta Airport waiting on the flight to Kuwait. I woke up this morning at 3 am to be ready by 430. The bus left at 5 am and we got to ATL at 2pm(Eastern time) we needed to be at the airport by 2 to check in for the flight. but the flight doesn't leave until 8pm. So we have been waiting. Luckily there is a USO here and there were Hooters Girls there for the pre Superbowl party. The USO volunteers were giving out raffle tickets for phones, t-shirts and caps. The guy across from me had 3 tickets, he was close quite a few times, then he won a phone(a go phone). They called a few more numbers and another one of his tickets came up, so he gave me his second winning ticket and now I have a free go phone that I won't be able to use for a year. Hopefully the minutes won't expire before I can use them. I might give it to one of the soldiers getting off of the Kuwait shuttle plane we are about to get on.
We are in the international terminal, so the running joke is every time we hear a boarding announcement some one asks ooh, you wanna go there instead?! Of course we want to go somewhere else. But we might get into trouble. On the up side there shouldn't be any small children crying on this flight :)
My bags weighed about 185 lbs. I can barely get my rucksack off of the ground. But I packed according to the packing list, so it is not my problem. My next update will hopefully be from Afghanistan, and will include an address!
