instead of hearing the usual "reveille" at 0600, we heard "wakey, wakey! welcome to australia waters!" - how exciting! it made for a good wake up call as everyone in berthing chuckled.
i can see land (darwin) from the weather deck. i spent most of last night on the weather deck, reminiscing and savoring every minute, knowing that it was the absolute last night that i will have outside. the weather deck has been my santuary for this whole entire mission. i spent more time on the weather deck that my berthing (minus sleeping). literally, if i'm wasn't at work or at chow, i was staring at the water, or taking a nap by the lifeboats.
pretty excited for darwin. everyone on the ship is talking about liberty. it's gonna be CRAZY! everyone is dying to party, drink, sight see, and just spend time in land.
well, that's all for now. will try to keep you guys posted while i'm in australia. i am leaving the ship today and will be checking in at a hotel with other Hope volunteers. official countdown to "home" starts NOW!
