Finally made it to Afghanistan, Kabul no less

I finally arrived in Afghanistan on late Saturday night and after some slight trouble was able to get a 15 minute flight from Bagrahm Air Base to Kabul. We took a convoy of a couple of SUVs driven by British Marines from the Kabul airport to ISAF headquarters through very busy streets. The city looks just as it does in the news! It is very run down and there are still numerous destroyed or damaged buildings everywhere. The base is very small, but seems to have quite a bit of stuff on it. I have to go now, but will write much more later!
