On my way back to Iraq

Aka: Tiawuknimi.

Here's a brief synopsis of my time on leave:

Left a flashlight in Talill.
Left an iPod in Arifjan. (Since recovered!)
Had my flight cancelled by Kuwait Airways because I didn't call them 72 hours before my flight to tell them I was STILL planning to fly with them. What the???
With a lot of help from ITT's T3 group, I was able to get tickets via United/Lufthansa at the last minute and left Kuwait a day later than initially planned.
Left my seat pad on a Lufthansa flight to Wash. Dulles.
Got my Xicar cigar cutter confiscated at Frankfurt. (Forgot to move it to checked baggage before travelling.)
Had my baggage arrive 2 days late when I laded at Austin.
Spent 2 great weeks with my family in Georgetown, Texas.
Dismantled our deck. (With much help from my wife, nephews, father-in-law, etc.)

Had my baggage arrive at least 1 day late upon arriving in Kuwait. I say, "at least" because I find out in about 10 minutes whether or not it arrived tonight. I am currently at the KWI Kinkos using a PC with internet connection.

I will follow up with some action pictures of my time on leave once I get to Scania. Should be 3 or 4 days, I would guess.
