I haven't gotten any info either. I asked, but my son says I'm too old for such a thing. Better luck with your sailor! Cost is a definate issue for me too. Two one way tickets is a lot. I think I would enjoy it (I'm not really too old).
Good news is that mail and gift boxes are arriving much quicker now. Only a month for the last one. I was also able to send some DVD out of ebay and 2 of three got there. The seller is resending the third one. We even got a few Facebook pics of the last liberty!
Anyone else have pics of the sunset safari tour. It looked really cool!
Emails are fewer, but requests are about half of them, so at least I can have some new news then.
Good luck on the tiger cruise info Jon - try emailing your sailor and asking him/her directly.

LA mom - Your daughter is so precious. I have no idea on how it is even possible to do what she did!

Missing my son too. He just got his Christmas box I mailed in ealry Dec. I think it is much more appreciated now that they have been out longer. I started to tear up when the store lady asked me if I needed help and I explained that I was shopping for chocolates for my Navy son. Surprised me.

Anyone trying to get info and where abouts of the Bunker Hill, you really nead to go onto Face Book and "friend" the Carl Vinson...they have all kinds of pics, many of the bunker Hill and they also are always listing where they are at. Like a news announcement went out today where they are at and who is accompanying them and you will than get first hand knowledge where our loved ones are. It's comforting to read and learn what we are doing exactly instead of guessing and instead of waiting for that email or phone call which is few and far between. Although, I do get correspondance at least every third day...which I know is a lot
compared to what many families receive. Good luck and happy reading.
I hope this has helped some..... God Bless
