Email from Sean
I got an unexpected email from Sean this morning! It was great to hear from him. Here is some of what he said. . .
I am in Al Udeid, which is only a short flight away from Balad. We have to wait for a couple days to get our flight into Balad.
I am very jet lagged. We spent over 20 hours flying. The flight was actually pretty good. Good food. I think we ate 5 meals on the plane. We made stops in Iceland and Budapest, Hungary. We had several in-flight movies. I was over 24 hours without sleep after I arrived here. I just woke up from a 4 hour nap, which is the only sleep I've gotten since 3:15 AM on 8/13. It is 6:15 PM on 8/14 as I type this, it is about 10:15 AM your time.
It is brutally hot here. It has been quite a while since I have sweated like this. Good times.

Besides the jet lag, it's great to hear that Sean is enjoying the adventure. Nice that he could surprise you with a little email.
We think of you often, Dani, and when you get back from Colorado, we'd love to have you come to Austin for a visit. We have a lot of extra room now. -Patti Chesney
Sounds like you are seeing some cool places...ICELAND. Twice I have been invited to Prague and it feel through. Jet lag is so individual. Best I have found is: 1) exercise helps 2) forget your homeland time zone, convert immediately. 3) Stay away from caffeine & sugar eat healthy...basic stuff.
I was in Vegas once when it was 115 degrees...I think it is even hotter where you are so I can't even imagine...can you fry eggs on the sidewalk?
Love you...can't wait until you get back and we can go have fun! Melo X0
Geezzz- ignore my typo's above. I'm typing during a conference call - didn't want to miss leaving you a message. MM
Wow! Hope you have had some rest by now! So glad you got to send an e-mail to Danielle! We are always glad to hear about your whereabouts.
Take good care of yourself. Sounds like Melo has some great suggestions.
Love and hugs,
Mom and Dad V.
