Finally home again, and this time for over a week!

After my nasty incident with another crew member on Monday (see below), I am glad to be away from him and the situation, and comfy at home again. I got home last night about 10:30. I flew from Dallas to San Jose so I could meet up with some friends for dinner and then flew home to Las Vegas. Yesterday started very early for me when I got up at 6am Central time. We headed straight for the pool to perform s simulated "ditching". We had to evacuate into the pool and then haul our asses into the life raft. It was really a lot of fun. I hope that is the only time I haul my ass up in a life raft, but then again, if I'm hauling my ass into a life raft, I survived impact. I suppose things could be worse. Hmmm...

I will be flying to Boston on June 3rd to sit reserve on the 4th. I am anxious to see where I might fly first, but am hoping it is not to Europe right away. I would rather fly to the Caribbean to get myself more comfortable with the base before I have to worry about the very strict customs forms we do for Europe. Also, flying to Europe there is a lot more responsibilty and the service is much more elaborate. And since I haven't done any of it yet, I would rather get my feet wet on something a little more simple. I'll let you know how it goes.

Tonight we are having dinner with Janniffer and her husband Paul, along with Jann's parents for Paul's birthday. We hope to have lunch today with Beth's grandma Vivian. Tomorrow night we'll be having dinner with Dale and Carter. The weekend is full of social engagements, but it's nice to be home again.
