On the 21st or 22nd, I found myself in the Kuwait International Airport on my way to Spain via Dubai. A coworker and I had just finished eating in the food court (actually he was eating, I was watching people and keeping myself amused). As we were walking toward the check in counters, I noticed the shirt of one of the oncoming people: -PO.... I couldn´t help it, I stopped and asked him if he was a brother.
Not only was he an APO - Philippines, but he was there with a large number of the Kuwait Alumni Chapter of APO- Philippines! I was now under obligation to meet all of those who were there, even the little APO baby that accompanied them! We talked for a few minutes, they took pictures they are supposed to email me (if I didn´t accicently delete them from my account when I cleaned out the inordinate amount of Spam), and they gave me a ballcap from one of the APO-Phillipines´ National Convetion.
This was a very great precursor to the events that are yet to come! I am ready to meet old friends, possibly make some new ones, and just have a good time relaxing and not thinking about the job that I have to go back to way too soon.
