She has arrived safe and sound!

As of February 28th, from Sandy:

I just got a call from Donna in Singapore, 0300 their time. Trip was great. Beat from 20+ hours of travel. Group has more Doc's than RN's. Her bag is not the largest. They will get up at 0500 for a tarmac arival at 0700 to board a C5 for a 0900 depart. They will hilo onto the ship from some where on the coast of Indo. No photos can be taken per the Sing. Gov. I will pass on what ever I get.


And from today:

I talked to Donna last night via ship phone. They get charged the same as from San Diego to here on their phone time. She will try and get onto a computer and give everyone an update. She sounds great, very happy and doing what she really wants. They have the Nurses and Docs in the same dorm area. Shades of Berkley. They stack'em three high but are using the middle and lower bunks only, someone fell out. After this tour the ship will go to San Diego. They are taking a Lottery on who will go ashore and who stays on the ship. Everyone wants to go ashore. That is where the most action is.

Donna will finish her orientation today. She said the military ride in was a Hoot. A real "E" coupon ride, web belt seating and strapped in. The military guys all want to be "Jet jockeys" and fly the transports like same. She already has some great stories to tell. This is a blast.
