Hey to everyone. Christmas and new years were very busy here. Sailor is back on the Reagan. I went back to work and have worked the last three nights. Today and tomorrow I am off and switching to 2nd shift for Wed, Thurs and Friday. Then off next weekend. It was so great to have my son the sailor home. He is waiting for his CMC interview to get done then should hear back about the Shore Duty orders. Still looking good for Newport RI teaching at OCS.

So great to know that Blondie is back safe. Waiting to see the pictures and hear the many adventures of their Holidays.

However, if I can get through the next 2.5 months (Yahoo!!!), spring break here I come for it will be  time to head south (12 hr flight)  to see my corpsman and enjoy the sun shine.

Hi all, we made it! very long trip, both flights were delayed (weather), once we made it to Tokyo 15 other flights were trying to check through imagration and customs Sooo glad we had no check baggage. LOL finally got that HUG! we had to ride a train, the metro and the bullet train all during rush hour all i can say is WOW remember I come from small town ohio. arrived at daughters house after traveling for 27 hours not counting the time difference (14 hours) we slept for about 40 mins. on plane. we dropped our bags, went out to eat and came home showered and went to bed. I only slept 3 hours (my norm). writing in my journal and learning some of their language. catching up with daughter. went to a mini- mart, 7/11, McDonald's and a mall so far and it's only 2:00. doing laundry now, going to base and then out to supper with a bunch of sailors in a few hours. wanted to let you all know we made it okay. no time to catch up if anything important, or prayers needed please send me a PM. daughter works tomorrow and now i know how to use her internet, so will try to catch up tomorrow. Hugs from sailor
