I have been to the edge and back....

Because I am in the Navy, I get the privilege of traveling all over the world. I have been to so many places that i thought i would never get the chance to see.
Where was the first place I went? Well technically, the first overseas place I went was Tokyo, Japan...but I was only at the airport. The navy was sending me to meet my ship and I had to go through Japan to get to Guam....which was the next place I went. And Guam is basically like a poor man's Hawaii. But its really pretty. Then the navy flew me out to my ship in the middle of the ocean. I cried. I didnt wanna go, but I went and then like a few days later we oulled into Hong Kong, China. That was a really great place. I really enjoyed it, I got a lot of shopping done, but it was VERY crowded. Well there was a "typhoon" that was going to hit the phillipines so they recalled us out of Hong Kong, it was wierd. So then we went to the Phillipines to provide relief to them because of the Typhoon. It was so sad, but we helped them and then a short time after we went to Guam (again). I had fun I went swimming in the ocean and got a pedicure and ate out at normal place and then of course I drank. I drank in every port and i honestly think I got drunk in every port. But before I did that i toured the country i was in first. So after Guam, we went to Sasebo, Japan. Oh man...that was fun and the country was gorgeous. When I was there I saw where we dropped the "A" bomb. That was very sad. Im not trying to start controversy. Then we went to Malaysia...and that was my favorite port...everything was sooo cheap and like it was just in general awesome...i had so much fun!!! And then we were on to Dubai...i stayed in the sand box...i didnt wanna go out into war zone...but i had fun in the sand box...it was very very very hot though...OH GEEZ!!! And then for Halloween I was in Singapore. that port was fun but i didnt like that it took an hour to get back to the boat from out in town....and then last but not least HAWAII!!! LOVED IT!!! My dad came out to go on Tiger Crusie with me and we went to the Pearl harbor memorials and we went to a real luau and we got to see the USS Arizona memorial...it was awesome we had a blast! If i hadnt joined the navy i would have never got the chance to go to any of these places...I am so greatful for it...I LOVE IT!!! I leave you with this: Go on a vacation everyone once in awhile!!!
