So I had a bit of training and a little vacation time in Brussels. Unfortunately the girls couldn't make it along, so I took one for the team and went alone :(
Training went really well, lots of good information and some good networking. The best part of the trip was a chance to see an old friend and army buddy. We were stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC, Ft. Polk, LA and did a tour in Bosnia together. He and his wife are the ones that taught us how to play bridge and it's bee about 12 years since we've last seen each other. I wish I had more time to catch up with them. But hopefully they can make it out to Paris when we go on R&R.
So of course this usually tends to be a photo blog so here are some of the pictures. The full set can be found HERE.
Cheers Brian!
So you did scroll all the way down to see what was next. Congratulations your the 3 individual to do so. Not really... you're probably the first...
Anyway so when I get into the airport back in Jeddah, I call Jolene and she says she's at the Marine house for a going away party and that I should come over to the consulate to partake. So being one to always want to support our Marines I do the right thing and go to the party... Yeah I know how that sounds. Anyways it turned into a very long day since I was up at 4am to get ready and catch my flight which landed at 7:30 pm. I finally made it home around 1:30 am. And we had a great time. Though we didn't get up and dance on the bar, others did.

And to finish off our weekend one of our British friends had a birthday so we went over to their place and had a small get together and an excellent cheese cake.
So now I'm home fat and happy (literally to both :\ ) Tomorrow is the first day of the work week and after being gone for a week I'm sure I'll have plenty to do.
Until next time...

Of course I had to go to some local brew houses.
