A step-by-step guide on how to enjoy your deployment travels.
1. Stay up late the night before packing and repacking your bags. Be sure to leave several things out each time to better enjoy the experience.
2. Make a sport out of zipping the bag. Sit on it. Push it against the wall. Shake it a few times. Ignore your wife who is laughing at you and offering "helpful" suggestions from the sidelines.
3. Set your alarm for 3:45am. DO NOT hit the snooze button.
4. Five minutes before you leave for the airport, figure out what you forgot to pack. Resolve that nothing else will fit in the bags anyway, so it doesn't matter.
5. Arrive at the airport praying that the TSA agents do not try and open your bags. (Imagine the announcement: Will the guy with the overstuffed bags please come and claim his property which is now strewn out all over the room because we can't make it fit back in the bag?)
6. Kiss your wife before you board the plane. (awww...)
7. Arrive at the next airport for a two hour layover. Find coffee. Board the next plane.
8. Arrive at the next airport for a two hour layover. Find coffee. Board yet another plane.
9. Arrive at the next airport. Find out that your luggage is still at the second airport.
10. Pray.
11. Sleep.
The adventure has begun!
