I was glad to have been able to return from Iraq alive. Defenitely a place I would LOVE to go back and visit when it stabalizes. Without the terrorism and the destabalization it is currently teeming with it would be a great vacation/backpacker spot. Unfortunately I was too concentrated on staying alive than the tourist scenery. Anyway, I am glad to finally be able to check this off my list. The year has been too long for me and I look forward to travelling with much of the money I’ve been able to save-up from my tour in Iraq.
