Thing #1

So the first big "thing that could go wrong" has happened with this move.

Imagine this.... you are quietly sleeping after a day of rigorous packing when you are suddenly awakened by a phone call at 1:45 am. On the other end of the phone is a man. A man who has lost his WALLET!

You have now entered the twilight zone..........

Yup! You heard me right. DH lost his wallet. Apparently he left it in the car of the person one of his friends picked up at the restaurant last night.

No driver's license, no military id, no credit cards or debit card and a 9 am flight do NOT mix.

So, after calling me in a panic this morning DH is now re-cleaning his room (which was torn apart in the search for said wallet) and I am here chatting with you because I can't get back to sleep.

After calling the airline to try to reschedule his flight and discovering he may still be able to get on the plane if he has his orders, gives them his right arm and left testicle, DH embarked on a frantic search for a ride to the airport. You see the military, in it's infinite wisdom, decided that the last bus to the airport should leave at 3 am - just about the time DH was calling me for the first time. Luckily for us, and unluckily for the poor schlub up at 3 am their time, he managed to wrangle a ride to the airport that is not a$100 cab fare.

So now I get to wait and see if they really will let him on the plane or if he's going to have to find a ride back to base so he can get his ID re-issued. This doesn't even address the issue of the fact that all the flights out of Gulfport (and surrounding areas) are full!

Stay tuned! I'm sure it's going to get more interesting.
