One last night...

so this is it. how dramatic, huh? just had a phatty dinner with t who's a rockstar for picking me up so early tomorrow morning. i have to say....it'll be so nice to have a friend drop me off. maybe she can even put on a show and cry a little like the Marine wives do....heheeh...just kidding, of course. it doesn't matter. i'm actually going to have to work tomorrow morning as the others say good bye to their families. i'll be giving shots. funstuff.

but anyway, the seabags are packed. the house is relatively clean. i'm pretty much ready and i sort of surprise myself when i say i'm actually looking forward to going. after all this prep time and all this work and all this anticipation, it'll be good to finally get on the road. my chief and a couple of the guys at the gas took me to lunch. those guys are amazing. i could not have asked for a better workplace. too bad chief v wasn't there....but i'll see her when i get back so it's all good. now i just get to look forward to the long wait at the airport and the even longer plane ride.

so next time i write, it will be in theater. pretty crazy. til then....

Wow, I can't believe the time has finally/actually come. I hope you have a good experience; there's always new things to see and learn in new places. Stay safe and happy. We'll miss you and look forward to when you come home.

Good luck Huy! I know we haven't seen each other in a while (maybe since Nina & Jes' Christmas party), but you'll be in my thoughts. Stay safe, and can't wait to hear about your experience.
