    I've pinched your piccies Biita - took you at your word and didn't ask first. Hope that's OK.

    Tomorrow will bring better news I'm sure. I still have everything crossed for you and KB - and of course Josh.

    Just checking in to see if there's any news yet. I'll be back later to see if he's on a flight home.

    Okay,, heres the update. Finally he will leave Quwait! He leaves at midnight his time. 22:00 or 10:00pm my time, 16:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon EST. He will arrive in Germany first, (his leave will start at that point), then he goes to Amsterdam, (Sjoerd make sure you wave hello) then from there he goes to Trondheim, (Droopy make sure you wave as he passes over head) then he will arrive here at last, (yippee, yah!!!) but i don't know what time. He gets all the times when he arrives in Germany. So he will call me with what time to be there. We have to go to Harstad, its 2 hours away, but I don't care i was ready to drive to Quwait! So I will post as soon as i know the time he arrives,, then I will post with pics of our reunion. Thank you everyone,,

    So glad to hear that at last he's actually going to be leaving Quwait Biita!!! I have a feeling that you will be at Harstad long before his plane lands. :-D We'll all be there with you (in spirit anyway) when he steps into your arms.

    Finally something solid! Oh, am I relieved on your behalf Biita. He won't be there until tomorrow then, and he won't pass over my head either, but further inland, but at least he'll be there. At last!

    lol,, all of you are too too funny, and kind. I slept in my bed,, not to well, but i did get some sleep! His flights got changed again, but in a good way,,kind of. He is now comming to Bodø instead of Harstad. But the problem is thats as far as the Army will take him. So,,,,,he either has to take the boat over, the Hurtig Ruten, or fly over. The boat leaves at 3:00 today, takes 4 hours to get to the island, but he has a jacuzzi, bar, resteraunts,, ect ect. onboard. plus he can sleep also if he needs to. The next flight to Leknes is not until i think 6:15 tonight, so either way he would arrive around the same time. His flight in from Amsterdam , lands at 12:15 this afternoon. So i'm thinking he should just take the boat over, relax, enjoy the ride, have a few beers.

    Now i just wish he would get intouch soon.

    Ohhh geez i can barely type,,lol. I'm so excited.

    He better get some rest, he has a rock concert to go to tonight,,,lol.

    Wonderful news! Oh, finally... I'm with you on the boat thing, it's nicer than waiting around on an airport. My husband passed me yesterday evening as I sat here, and asked "Any news?" :D Three more hours and he's in Oslo.

    In Oslo...he must be on the water now....chugging across the waves, closing in on Leknes.
    Well Biita... it's time to get wild now. :)

    Really thrilled for you.
