Sorry I have not posted in a while. I was preparing some coleslaw for a cookout we are hosting for our neighbors Saturday, and realized, hey, I have not been on the blog lately!
I traveled up to Saipan to meet Tom's ship last week and stayed up there for about five days total. We spent the weekend in Tinian for the village festival, and then we went over to Saipan for a couple of days. The ship was out working a few of the days, and I actually had work to do up there also, so it was a good relaxing and productive trip. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the camera (gasp), so the trip was not photo-documented. Sorry.
We did do a great dive in Saipan on Tuesday. There are three Coasties stationed in Saipan, and we went diving with the husband of the LT up there. We dove the Groto, a beautiful natural semi-enclosed cavern. It was fantastic! There were a lot of swim throughs and caverns to explore. It was like spelunking underwater, and, we saw a turtle.
The ship got back today, and Tom is quite tired from being underway. In fact, he is asleep on the couch across from me right now. He will be home now until the boat leaves for drydock at the end of June.
We are going to Hawaii for a few days next week. I have a conference on Thurs-Fri, so we are flying out from here on Wed to arrive in Honolulu on Tuesday night (dateline crossing). We will stay until Sunday there, and arrive home on Monday evening here! We are both excited about the trip. I was sort of bummed originally, because it was going to cut in to precious Tom-home time, but then he decided to come along to play in the surf all day while I am at my seminar.
Don't worry, we will not forget the camera this time.
Hopefully we will do some hiking this weekend, and I will get pictures up.
