We are on board Delta 1676 – a Boeing 757 Atlanta bound from BWI. It’s a fairly full flight. There are a couple dozen returning Air Force soldiers coming home from Iraq via Germany. We are sitting with a Corporal Stevens bound home in Florida. Despite my misgivings about our Commander-in-Chief, my hat goes off to these brave Americans serving around the world, and I salute their services.
Several people on board seem ill with colds. I took a vitamin and some airborne or germ away product supposed to strengthen the immune system. Let’s hope it works.
There’s a little over an hour of flight time left and then nearly a four hour layover. Then of course there’s the 9.5 hour flight to Prague. Corporal Stevens mentioned drizzle in Germany — not sure what part of Germany though. At this point I feel like sleeping on the next leg of the flight will not be difficult.
