I just absolutely scored at the Union Hall.

It's a good ship for me because I was just on the sister ship so I'll know my way around a little bit and, I'll also know the run.

I'm not looking forward to freezing temperatures in China but, a couple pieces of good gear go a really long ways.

I ship out on Monday - which gives me ample time to finish packing my sea bags.

(and trust me I need time...as you can see my suitcase / sea bag situation is an explosion)

I'm just plain old tickled pink!!!!!!
