Sigonella, Sicilia (Italy)

After a night of trying to get on the local time zone, [I woke up and made my way to the Sigonella Galley for breakfast].  A bit later, I picked up my rental car at Europcar this morning (1005).  [Our crew spent most of the day figuring out how to support the mission we have to the Middle East.  Our local pilot counterparts briefed us on DV/VIP protocol and our crew made grocery purchases (with the help of the Culinary Specialists) so that we could support our passengers to the level to which they are accustomed.  I learned that one of the DVs was my Admiral during my 1998-1999 MED Cruise - I wonder if he remembers me...  Spent the afternoon relaxing and getting some sleep so we'd be ready for our mission to Naples in the morning.]
