Hi all,I finally arrived and am settling into the office getting my clearances straight and id badges. Jetlag has certainly set in, but over time I think everything will adjust accordingly. The only glitch was that one of my bags didn't arrive (of course it had to be the biggest with ALL the good stuff), so hopefully it will arrive today. My new boss greeted me at the airport at 1:30 am and I thought that was a great way to start the tour.
He's a fantastic guy from what I hear and the fact he wanted to be there that early to meet me was nice, especially since he flew to Bahrain just a few hours later. He took me to my new house and when he left, after I was finally alone, it all hit me. So I got a few hours of sleep then called for someone to bring me to the Embassy. Might as well dive in quick, there's a lot to do here.
I spoke to the kids and Mike today as they were getting ready to leave for school. Once I assured Matthew there were no snake on the plane (he caught a glimpse of a movie Mike was watching!! Thanks Mikey!) everything was fine.
I am writing to you on the family e-mail. I wanted to try and streamline one e-mail acocunt for family and friends to e-mail but if Mike says that this bogs his system down with "my" e-mail, I may switch over to imshammer@hotmail.com.
Take care and I'll be in touch.
Peace,
Amy
