Iraq Suggested Trips

Tikrit has been a hot spot in Northern Iraq for some time now. If visiting Tikrit, I suggest body armor, a kevilar helmet, and an assault rifle. Don't forget the sunscreen and remember... HAVE FUN:-)

Tikrit really isn't a frequent vacation destination but if you have family there and don't mind the threat of death looming in the air or American troops with M16s around every corner, this is your place. Of course, most of the establishments when I was there didn't want to serve Americans. And there wasn't electricity or water either although I'm hoping that's been restored. What I'm saying is food may be an issue from time to time so if you can't rely on family in the area, bring a lot of power bars and water or you'll be hunting ferrell dogs!

The people are dangerouse and annoying.

If you don't have to go DON'T GO!

I'd rent my place in Baghdad and live in Hell.  That place isn't the nicest place you've ever lived in...that's for sure.  But hey, it beats working and living in DC any day.  Good money if you're a contractor...
