On the road again
Back on the trail again. Soooo much has been going on in February. I made it back to the US after being gone for almost a year and a half.
- Got a surprise visit from Amanda, all the way from Australia. She hung out here for a couple weeks. Her first time to the US.
- Got to see my family. During my trip, the weather sucked so bad we got stuck there for an extra 2 days. My nephew was happy about that. lol
- We flew back to Florida to check out the state fair and hang out around the beaches. Checked out some nightlife with some friends around the beach area. It’s so cold at night in Florida right now.
- I had plans to hit up Sea World and Busch Gardens, but our schedules got messed up from the bad weather and rain. Sucks… 
- We got a chance to check out the Clearwater Aquarium. Pretty cool experience.
- Filed my taxes.. getting a decent return back. I had to file the form 2555 for being out of the country all last year. It’s hard to believe people pay people $800-$1200 to file their taxes for working overseas. I guess if you have alot of property, stocks, and other expenses, you need somebody that knows what they are doing.
- I’m back in the airport again, this time heading to Kuwait from Washington DC. New job, new country, new adventure on the horizon. Trying to meet up with Rocky this week in Kuwait to hang out and catch up. So many big plans in the future with the diving business. Hopefully things go as planned in the next couple years.

What is happening in Haiti
I got an interesting email about this guy that went to Haiti to help find bodies thru the concrete. A must read… this will piss off a couple people.
To All,
I just returned from Haiti with Hebler. We flew in at 3 AM Sunday to
the scene of such incredible destruction on one side, and enormous
ineptitude and criminal neglect on the other. (more…)
Back in Manila
Chillin back in Manila – Malate Philippines area. Slept like 15 hours last night. I am so lazy, dont feel like doing anything. I checked into this hotel around 9:30am yesterday. The staff was so confused because it was before noon. So when 12pm hit, 2 guys showed up at my door with a luggage cart asking if I was ready to leave. Um.. I checked in 3 hours ago… are you kicking me out or something? They had this confused look. I called the desk to see whats going on. Another visit from a manager to apologize then 2 followup calls to see if I was mad. I just wanted to take a nap… go away for a while!
I have an International flight out once again after midnight. Sucks. Tired of traveling. Heading back to Iraq and then who knows. I have a couple things going on right now that could take another turn in life.
Daves Straw Hat Inn Video
I was pretty bored the first few days of vacation, hanging around the diveshop and enjoying the weather. I really didnt feel like doing anything that would involve carrying around scuba tanks or anything. So I ran across Dave from Daves Straw Hat Inn and told him I would shoot a small video of his resort to kill time. It’s a nice place just off the white beach here in Boracay Philippines in the Station 3 area.
