I remember my tourism moment in northern Baghdad in 2010. I actually flew there from Kuwait to take a scheduled CISSP exam. I got to tour palace row on Camp Liberty. I got lost the evening I arrived which made me nervous because I recently paid $700 to attend this exam the next morning despite sleeping only about 2 hours and using almost the full 6 hours of test time I still passed (first time go). I remember the enormous catfish in the largest palace moat and the bats swarm from the local bat tower at night. That large palace was truly exquisite with tall brilliant marble walls and gold lettering in-laid. I also remember the Flintstones palace for Saddam’s grandchildren. Then I spent a week at Balad playing Guitar Hero awaiting transportation back to Kuwait.
