A Day In The Life...

Ciao!

I must say that the past several weeks have been very different than my weeks when I first arrived in La Maddalena. First of all the weather has changed drastically...Gone are the mid-90's temperature, humidity so high you can't breathe. We are now experiencing cool winds coming across the Med with temperatures reaching only the mid-70's. We also seem to get thundershowers during the late-evening/early morning time. So often that we are forced to wear jackets...I guess I better start buying winter clothing before I start to freeze....But all in all the workdays aren't to bad here. Every so often we experience our share of emergent repairs, mind you the ship is realllllly old and has been negleted for decades. So although we may stay late from time to time, we are quite lucky to be able to hit the beach early and still have our weekends off.

I have found a 3-bedroom apartment that I'll be moving into soon. Mostly paid by the Navy but unfurnished. That's okay cause I plan in turning it into CLUB DEVIATE every Friday and Saturday and charge everyone $25 to get in and have all you can drink....I'm gonna make me some moola! ! !

A few friends are planning on doing some sightseeing, weather permitting. Not sure where cause I'm not the one driving, but some expressed going to the Acshun Mall and eating McDonald's and maybe some bowling....Doesn't matter to me as long as we do something.

Word was released that the ship will be headed stateside (Washington State) in late 2007. How cool is that? I know Roy's excited. We plan on transitting across the Atlantic Ocean with stops in Florida and Virginia before going thru the Panama Canal to head up the coast. We should be in Bremerton before the holidays.

Baby Christian is doing well. I have heard that he weighs close to 10lbs and has been smiling a lot. I recently bought him his first pair of Nike shoes, he'll be sporting those in a month or two. Eydee and I are hoping to have a christening in mid-December so clear your calenders for a party afterwards.

Anyway it's Friday night and we just got paid (party's jumpin', feelin' righhhht) and me and the boys are planning on finding a party somewhere in La Madd.
Until next post...take care y'all
