Road Trip 2006 Try 2

Here we go again!

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!

I have a Master's Degree!

I received this in the mail today. I officially have a Master's Degree in Defense Technology and Systems from the National University of Singapore. It was awarded to me about a month ago, so I've missed out on a whole month of the "privelages" associated!

I need to get cracking catching up on using those privelages...

New Motorcycle Jackets

We went to the mall today and discovered Wilson's is having a huge sale. We took a look, and found these jackets at 70% off.

And since we got a small bonus this month due to a Navy accounting error (made years ago by the way), we figured w'ed spurge a little. So we each got a new leather jacket to wear when we go riding!

Sarah's is the red one, mine is the blue one.

Updated Files

I have updated my "Master Plan" Document, so it shows the current coursework I am taking for my LAST quarter! It's not too full, but I'm still working long hours! I also changed the colors to match the new blogpage.

I've also updated my Navy Biography to match the new color scheme of this blogpage. No new information there.

Both files are permanently available in the links list at the right side of this page.

This is our first post!

This is the new family blogpage. I intend to get it up and running soon as the primary location for all information regarding John, Sarah, Q.
