This church was across the parking lot from our hotel. We were able to walk to a Saturday morning Mass--a grace from Our Lady :) not only that, but we met some people after Mass who had mutual friends in Va!

We stayed one night at a campground just outside of Zion National Park. We didn't have a lot of time there but were able to explore a short time at the campground and in the park.

Command Coins are the Pirate Booty of the Arabian Gulf.  Whenever you interact with a new ship or unit, you somehow feel let down if you don't score a new conquest.  I was told upon arrival that our new Command Coins were the new hotness in the Gulf.  Everyone wanted to get a Passenger, Mail, Cargo (PMC) hit from a Desert Hawk helicopter so they could trade for a piece of booty that doubled as a bottle opener. I think HSL-48 may be giving us a run for our money, though. 'Murica!  Yah!
