Ready to Go (mentally)







That's me and kids back in March, when we went to DC for the oral assessment back.  At the time, Alex seemed very excited at the possibility of returning for an extended time.  When we first arrived in Northern Virginia, he wanted to go into DC every weekend.  About the second or third trip in, he started complaining about the "tourists" in the Metro.  Now he says he's seen it all. I can (sort of) relate. The training is good, but  I'm ready to get to post.

That's mentally ready - logistically there's still a ton to do  - arrange the packout, figure out all the documentation required to ship the car, etc.  On the plus side, our visas arrived. One thing off the list.
