WTP - Day 3

We boarded buses in the late afternoon on 14 Oct to go through the painful customs procedure. I went through this previously when I went on R&R leave last May. It was about the same level of pain this time too.

We went through the customs inspection process twice; first for our checked bags and then again for our carry ons. It was relatively smooth but took a long time (roughly three hours). After it was over, we were bused over to the DFAC for one last meal. Then back to the customs area for a brief wait.

At around 2100 we boarded a new set of buses and made the hour plus drive to Kuwait City International. We stayed on the military side of the airport and stayed briefly in a transient military passenger terminal. Around 0100 on the 15th we walked in single file along the tarmac and boarded a chartered Boeing 767 for the flight to Baltimore.

We are finally getting out of here.
