I Am Inbound

From the 7th of October I have been on leave.
Here are some key words associated with my leave:

Miami (flew in and out of there)
Carnival (cruised from the 16th through the 23rd)
Western Caribbean (Where we were initially scheduled to cruise)
Eastern Caribbean (Where we -actually- cruised, due to the next keyword)
Wilma (See keyword above and keyword #1)
Standby (The kind of flight you get on when you are supposed to fly out of keyword #1 on Monday evening but realize that due to keyword #5 that ain't gonna happen)
Blessed (To have spent a couple of weeks with my wife and daughter, that we both got the early flights out of Miami we needed)
Ibis Hotel (Since I arrived in Paris a day early I needed a place to stay)

And so I am at the hotel. I will catch the shuttle to the airport around 8am tomorrow, local time. After that, a few days at the lovely Ali Al Salem transient storage facility and airbound shuttle service in to Iraq. Then on to my truck stop.
