Headed out to sea.  First, time I have ever heard Scotland described as "warm."  Guess that it's all relative after the North Pole.

After three months at sea, THEY"RE HOME!!

We couldn't be there to welcome them, but I can't wait untill next month when Nathan will come home on leave!!

I've been too busy the last couple of days to post this, but we got a call from Nathan on the 4th. He and a couple of his friends on the boat had taken a train to Paris and he called us from the Eifflel Tower! He said they are all starting to get home sick and are looking forward to getting back to port.

Yes, we've been told about that port call also. But, we also heard at one point that one port call had been deleted from their itenerary and a new one had been added. I can only speculate as to when the next time we might hear from them.

I think that they have one more port call, north of their last one; however, I really don't know right now whether they're in the Med or the Atlantic. I think you are right in that everyone's a little homesick. Travis got leave approved for a week starting Aug. 2, so we're looking forward to a visit.

I got an email from Nathan today. He said they had been very, very busy but that the pace was more relaxed now and he finally found enough free time to send an email. He said the crew as all well, and that everything was going fine. He also mentioned that if they didn't have videos to watch in the galley, and a few gaming systems on board that everyone would be going stir crazy. It seems most of the guys are starting to get a bit homesick. I know they are not used to being gone for this long, and many are missing their wives and children. Most of the single guys are finding the long separation easier.

Maybe they'll have another port call soon so the guys can call home again.

I'm glad you heard from Travis. We heard from Nathan a couple of times also. Nathan said most of them got sun burned on the beach, but that the scenery was worth it. (I don't know what he was talking about...;) After being underwater for weeks, I imagine the sun takes its toll pretty fast.

Incredible, actually got two telephone calls from Travis while on liberty at their last port call. All seems well! We had sent birthday cards first week of May and they didn't get to the boat until last week, so "snail mail" is REALLY slow, although I guess that's not surprising on a sub where they're not regularly re-supplying from other ships.

We haven't heard yet from Travis, who is a TM but joined the boat so late that he wasn't included in the posted watch schedule, so he's working in the galley this trip so far. My wife, Cathy, noticed yesterday on Navy Moms that folks were suddenly getting phone calls so we hope to hear from Trav pretty quick. We'd gotten a couple of e-mails during the voyage over, but that's it. We have sent birthday cards via the FPO since May 23rd is his 20th birthday. I thin k that right now Travis is working so hard on his quals that he hardly knows anything else.
