Camp Springs, MD (USA)
Last day of the Inspection but we don't leave until tomorrow. Not much to do at work, since I was done yesterday. It was nice, though, because I was able to take care of work emails and turn-over with Raul. At a small lunch and was ready to depart by 1500L. This time, Mike and John were ready to go early, too. Back in my room, had to wait for a few hours for the dinner party to depart. Ended up eating at Five Guys (burgers and fries) for the first time - it was pretty good, actually). Ginny and other members of "goat locker" tried to wrestle me away from the O-party all night - but it never worked out after all. The entire team ended up on a patio in back of the hotel... We enjoyed a few beers until the news came through that Osama bin Laden had been killed - most of us returned to our rooms to watch the TV coverage. I must admit being a little unprepared to hear this news and unsure that it really had happened. Don't get me wrong - it is great news! Hard to believe he's been on the loose for nearly 10 years and now he's finally paid for his actions. Packed while I watched TV and then went to bed.
