Sigonella, Sicilia (Italy)

Our last full day in Sicily - we'll be leaving tomorrow... Slept late (to get back on US time) and then went over to hangar to turn over my Blackberry to the oncoming crews. Took care of work emails and made a few phone calls. Finalized flight planning and then had lunch with the guys at the Galley (1230L). Back in my room, packed and cleaned up - then played some video games. Watched TV and then had dinner around 1730L at the Galley. Bought supplies for the flight home at the Shopette and then met up with all our off-going folks and the in-coming crews for an impromptu party. Wasn't able to imbibe, but had an enjoyable time swapping stories and making plans for my return in September. Stayed until 2100L and then returned to my room at the NAS Sigonella Navy Gateway Inn. Wrapped up the last of my packing and went to bed just after 2200L.
