I’ve been a big baseball fan my whole life, but as a kid that passion was generally spent during my little league games or on the hometown Red Sox. I became a true fan of the sport after graduating high school, when my father and I went on an 8-day, 7-stadium road trip. Ever since, I’ve wanted to visit all 30 stadiums.
Home Leave is a State Department mandated vacation that occurs between tours. Our leave happened to be the maximum time allotted to us, or 30 days, plus a week of Annual Leave tacked on at the end. We used this time to travel around the country, visit with family, renew our licenses, attend medical appointments, and try to relax despite the near constant stream of activities we attempted to squeeze in. Here's a quick recap of our first home leave.
