A big change in scenery - from the hot, arid deserts of Arizona to the cool, lush, green foilage of northern Delaware.
Pics to come...for now Annapolis beckons.
Last year, it was Air Force. This year, it will be Navy. I will pop by JHU and Penn as well if my schedule allow. Part of my scenic drive through the Maryland countryside will include the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
But the best thing of all - my trip is fully sponsored. Whooohoooo!
Sometimes you get all sorts of interesting emails simply by posting your resume online, including the US military.
