Seladaymat tinggal (goodbye) in Indonesian
Tomorrow is the day! I will officially call the USNS Mercy or
(T-AH 19) my home. It feels very surreal that this is the last time I will
sleep in my childhood bed for 4 months or surf the web on my phone any time I
want. Get in a car and drive somewhere, walk one flight of stairs to my
bedroom, and talk on the phone!
I attempted to add World Traveler to my cell phone plan and
then 50 text messages to my account… then I found out any time someone called
me, left me a voicemail (even if I did not answer) I would be charged
international calling! YIKES!!! So I am suspending my phone until I end the
mission in Cambodia. Hopefully this will save me 100’s of dollars! And no phone
bill for 3 months! My phone will be turned off after Hawaii May 12th
So some good news for those of us attached to our phones by
an electrical leash… the Mercy set up Wifi… I think with the intention of
blocking it, but Apple products can’t be stopped! So my IPhone will get wifi in
the hotspots. It’s still satellite so probably very slow, but better than
nearly NO internet. The wifi will work when we are in ports, not under power
across the Atlantic!
LOVE you all and I will try to keep you posted!
My family will probably have to post the pictures that I e-mail them so posts and pictures may post at different times.
