It's time for a Road Trip!

I have begun the planning process for our next road trip, the one that will bring us back to the east coast! We are taking the extreme southern route for numerous reasons, but mostly because we feel like it. Here is the tentative schedule of events (the "D" refers to the Departure Day which I expect to be aroung 28-31 June):

There are only really 3 official "sightseeing stops" in the plan (Carlsbad, Houston, New Orleans) but we learned on the last road trip that some of the best sights are stumbled upon by just watching the signs pass - so I left plenty of time to see what we come across!

Just call me WEPS

Here's the email I received from my Detailer:

John,

Just to follow-up on the voicemail I left you. The slate has not been
approved; however I have the tentative slate in front of me which is the 99%
solution. You were slated to your #1 choice: WEPS in VELLA GULF CG 72 in
Norfolk. I hope to meet you next week while I am at NPS. Have a
great weekend and let me know if you have any
questions/concerns.

R,
Samantha


So there you have it! Not only did I get my first choice of billet, I got the billet I would have chosen for myself if I had the list! This is one of the newest Cruisers in the fleet, with all the fun bells and whistles! This is fantastic!

Here's the beautiful ship I will be serving on next!
