Thanks KenH & duhuh for the links!  I love seeing all the photos.  I like to pretend I can make out my sailor on deck.  Dorky, I know.

Also KenH, I got a chuckle when I read about you tracking your sailor through his debit card activity.  :)

Our sailor had duty yesterday and today she went on one of the London tours.  I hope she has time to email us later to tell us all about it.  But maybe she'll be too tuckered out.

Comment by Janae' *My Love is HOME :)* on May 28, 2011 at 11:58am

ME, my husband also had duty yesterday and said he was going on 2 tours, so maybe one of them is to London, but he said he is going to take lots of pics for me.... I'm so excited for him and all the sailors... He called at 1200 this morning cuz he needed me to call the bank to make sure they werent going to cut his card off, but he sounded excited. I just hope he is having fun. You ladies have a wonderful weekend. :)

had some errands this afternoon then took my sugar butt to the y's pool then skating and my old ass body is feeling it now, lol.  time for sleep!

 

Comment by duhhuh58 Ship 10/Div 267 on May 27, 2011 at 10:36pm

ladies, i started a new "discussion" entitled "useful links"  thought it might be good to put all the links we come up with in one discussion to make them easier to find later.  i already put the ones on about the online customs form, cakes and some recipes for cakes to make and send.

got my order in today on the individual packets (pt that link there too) 1 1/2 weeks from order to delivery.  guess i'll be sending a second package close to the first, lol.
