Mini-package for me on Day 100

We've officially hit triple digits!
Today marks 100 days since Tony and Lisa sailed away....Well, I guess, technically, they didn't really sail away...Haha. Although, the Navy really should look into harnessing the wind or even hydropower to be more eco-friendly...I digress...

I received a mini-package from Tony today. Inside it, there were letters and a pen. (a hint, maybe?) Haha!



Anyways, in it were letters that he'd written me every night...many of them at times when the internet was out but lots of them were just "regular" nights. He wrote one from day 69-85...missing only 1 day!

There were also 3 other cards that he was going to send to me but the ship didn't have stamps...One would hypothesize that a ship, knowingly coming in to port, would stock up on stamps while at said port so that the sailors on said ship could mail letters home...Alas, no can do. This is not the first time this situation has occurred on this ship. I hope they do a better job of stocking other things...like T.P. and fresh water....


Note about rates for sending mail:
It also says all over the internet that deployed military get to send letter mail for free. I can tell you that he and I are paying for every single letter we send back and forth. Oh, and I get a discount of like a dollar on mailing the large flat rate box but when he sends me one, he has to pay the full price. (Just to put that info out there for anyone wondering).

See? Everyone loves getting mail!

I'm pretty sure he's talking about:
someone in HI loves you and
Mess Deck Survival Kit

Just to put the days in perspective...and also to show how long it takes to actually get the mail... Honestly, the hold-up on his end is that his ship only sends mail when it's parked. Once he sends the letters, it takes a couple days. When I send letters, it takes at least a couple weeks. They're significantly slower than packages.




My life here at home is so hard...
Haha!
