THE REST OF THE STORY...

After a great week of cruising, Steven then had the task of arranging our military "hop" back to the East Coast.  The next plane out would not be for 3 days, which allowed us to catch-up with Brooks McKenzie (Mattison) and his beautiful new bride, Hannah.  They were more than gracious hosts as they have only been married 2 months and only been in their new apartment one week!  Thanks Brooks & Hannah for your sweet hospitality!

The flight out of Ft McChord got cancelled, so we caught a ride to the ferry to head to Whidbey Island, WA and  and were able to catch a straight flight to Jax from there!  The plane was a C-40, which is a passenger jet that has 121 seats and there were only three of us on the flight!  The plane is home based at NAS, Jax and had to fly back there for another mission, so it was going...even if it were empty!   The funny thing is that they joked about us having our own private jet!  It was a very nice jet, (no need for any inflatable air mattresses or floats this time) and the flight crew were fabulous, treated us extra special!

So another great adventure has ended and I am looking forward to staying home for a little while...but then again...I am married to Mr Adventure himself, so who knows???
