From frozen wastelands to Japan!

Well now I'm sitting in Yokota, Japan. I flew up on the North Slope of Alaska for a little over 2 weeks hauling equipment back and forth for the Oil Companies. It was some though work, but I LOVED the flying. Very challenging..... We were landing on ice strips that were built on frozen lakes. Pretty incredible flying really! I was home a whole 10 hours before I had to catch a plane to Japan. I'll be here for about 2 weeks, then I'll be timed out! ("turned into a pumpkin" in aviation terms). So then I should be able to relax at home for a while.... I've been really missing my family lately. Sometimes I feel very guilty about being away so much, but there are pros and cons to any job I guess. It's not a 5-9 job by any means. The pros are that I LOVE what I do It's such an increadible job and when I'm home I'm HOME, no 9-5 job. I can just hang out with my little boy all day for 2 weeks straight, so that times pretty precious.....

Namaste,

Tom

Flying...

Just trying to figure out how to work this blog, so bear with me if some of my posts seem a little odd..... :) I've realized that this is a great way for my friends and family to "keep track" of me..... I probably shouldn't let them know that I'm having too good of a time..... :)

Sitting in NewJersey

Ughhhh! I've been here for over a month now, I'm heading home to Anchorage tomorrow. I'm sooo excited to see my wife and little boy. That's really the only downfall of my job. Being gone from home so much. But on the positive side, when I am home I"m home. I have a whole month off before I go back to work.

In February I'll be flying out of Barrow, Alaska for 2 weeks flying equipment for an oil company. It's going to be dark and cold as hell!!!! I lived in Barrow for 2 years, so at least I know what to expect...... :)

I'll certainly get some pictures posted!

Namaste,

Tom
