Passing Time
It’s been just over two weeks since I left home for deployment and it doesn’t yet feel like I’m on deployment. It seems more like a shorter underway period where we return after 3-4 weeks and it’s not that big of a deal. Instead I don’t think it will hit until we get further west. I guess the only way to make the time pass is to go through each day as it happens. Hopefully the stops we make for port visits punctuate the time so that it makes the overall trip seem to pass faster.
One problem with stopping our journey briefly to visit ports makes in that I lose my thoughts and can come up with very little because the day to day ‘adventure’ isn’t all that exciting to most people. And while I can’t discuss our next location, I am looking forward to the next stop especially.
