We arrived here around midnight local time, about 9 hours after departing Kansas, for some fuel and crew change-out, and beer. I thought we'd be stopping in Ireland but the beer in Germany is just as good no matter what time it is. The flight so far has been pretty smooth, every one of us had two seats to spread out and try and make ourselves as comfortable as possible. I saw a couple movies, the one with The Rock as a quarterback who takes custody of some little girl ( a disney movie so not that great) and one with Juliette Binoche and Steve Carrell, not bad. Food was your typical airline food with plenty of seconds for anyone who desired some, plenty to drink but no alcoholic beverages (but I am having a few at the airport!).
We have another 3000 miles to go before we reach Kyrgystan and we should get there around lunchtime. The plan once we get there is to wait around for a military flight into Kabul, probably a couple days at most.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get another beer!
