First Week in Sasebo Japan

[MIKE GONZALES]

Michael's been in Sasebo Japan for about a Week now and loving every minute of it, Just like you said Lee.The excitement he expressed in his emails was pretty awesome.He purchased one of those cell phones you were talking about it's going to be nice just to hear his voice. His ship, The Essex was at another port and isn't returning till August so i think he thought "cool" I'll get time to really check out sasebo (NOT) they broke his bubble Yesterday and told him there going to Fly him to the Ship ha ha. He'll have plenty of time for exploring.Since arriving there they've been going out every day he said.He's loving the sushi, he's a big sea food freak like my self.How's Kevin doing Lee, have you herd from him?

Mike, Kevin actually called me at 5:30am this morning to let me know he is now in Cairns, Australia. Not sure how long he is going to be there, but he said he did get off this...to take the garbage out! LOL Today was his duty day, so he said he probably won't be able to leave the ship until tomorrow at the earliest.
