Saturday disappeared for us on a flight lasted from early evening Friday till midnight Saturday. Then unloading and loading baggage and travel to our new home stretched until 10 the next morning. At that point we got the very good advice to stay up until eight pm and get our bodies into local time.
By 2pm everybody was asleep (including everyone who gave that sage advice) in our new accommodations--a 78-man tent with no empty bunks. A couple of us went to the gym at 4pm. It's a 24-hour gym which is great. The food here is also amazing. Omelettes to order for breakfast, short order and regular food for lunch and dinner, midnight chow for late workers.
The internet is spotty, but not as bad as everyone said it would be. And there's lots of sand here.

Davey told me you are an intelligent, good guy, who is always "leading the pack" - he's glad you are there.
ReplyDeleteSorry if this isn't proper blogging etiquette. I'm new to this. My mom found you and we are both daily readers. Thanks again.
djmom--My name is Neil. It seems strange for me to address you by an internet name. Also, do you mean YOUR mom, David's grandmother, found me on the Web?
ReplyDeleteBest,
Neil
24-hour gym! Made to order omlettes! My hotel at Pittcon didn't have either of those. :-) Hope you brought the sunscreen and the sand toys and glad to hear you made it safe.
ReplyDeleteHi Neil,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to thank you for the blog (especially the story about Carrie Jackson). We (Carrie's father and grandparents) have all enjoyed your stories. We are praying for all of you each day!
Sincerely,
Lauri Davis (Carrie's mom)
