Big E Tiger Cruise Day 1 cont'd

Well arrived in Jacksonville on time. People from the base and the USO were great. Our driver and navigator were real fun. They took us on the scenic route. Got to see the Jaguar stadium Laura loves the Colts so she did not care to much that I saw it. Still neat. Arrived at hotel got settled in, Heath called thought I could meet on base, he was on duty, but he guessed wrong. I have to wait until Friday morning 5 am cannot get here soon enough. 1st shuttle is mine. Heath said he would meet me at registration. Did not realize being this close, less than a mile away and still have to wait 9 hours to see him. Ask anybody, I am not the real emotional type, but I am really bummed that I have to wait. Well will make Friday all that more special. Gonna rest up the real adventure begins at 330 am. I will try to upload some pictures tomorrow or when I get a good signal.
