Hey!

Tomorrow is Vietnam.

Not much to say, but we're all very excited.

Today, the ship had a man-overboard drill. I will write more about it at a later date, but a 6 foot orange dummy was thrown overboard and then the announcement was made. The crew had no idea it was coming, and the ship executed a hard figure-8 maneuver and searched for the dummy. Then a lifeboat was lowered and the dummy was recovered as if it were a live passenger. Very amazing thing how our ship can turn on a dime and go back to save someone.



In Vietnam, I plan on seeing lots of things pertaining to the war and also traveling south to the Mekong delta with friends to navigate the rivers on a boat and stay with a family for a homestay one night.


It should all be amazing, and I can't wait to share it with everyone when I get back.

Talk to you all soon!
