As my departure from Baghdad approaches, I've been thinking about the past year. Here's what I will miss and what I will not miss about Baghdad.
What I won't miss:
Stepping outside and getting sandblasted by 115 degree wind and dirt
Iranian-made rockets
Action memos and 8-page cables
Baked fish and steamed vegetables
Personal Protective Equipment (aka kevlar vest & helmet)
Acronyms
T-walls
What I will miss:
Some incredible people
Flying in helicopters
Free all-you-can-eat ice cream
Girls night
Big guys with guns opening the door for me
The DFAC when it's decorated for holidays

Free all-you-can-eat ice cream? Would you do it all again?
I'm spending Sunday getting ready for you. What ice cream flavors? - I'll even get the Baskin Robbins.
