Travel to Kirkuk

Travel from the Embassy in Baghdad to Kirkuk was an ordeal.  First you meet the shuttle van that takes you to the Helo Pad (helicopter).  We flew on a larger helicopter from the Embassy to Baghdad airport where we boarded a regular airplane for the flight to Erbil.



After arriving at the Erbil airport we then took Huey helicopters into Kirkuk...okay, now I want to be a helicopter pilot!  LOVED the Huey, ...flying in sideways with the doors wide open.  That was a bit exhilarating!


Long travel day that started at 5 a.m and ended about 6 in the evening...glad to finally be here.
