To celebrate Thanksgiving 2006, we will arrive in Cadiz, Spain on Thursday. There’ll be no parades or football for us this year, but the ship’s crew plans to offer up a traditional turkey dinner tonight (Wednesday) for everyone. Yum!
Those of you who’ve shared Thanksgiving dinner with Mary know there comes a point in the meal when she suggests we should all go around the table and list the things we’re thankful for. So I’ll start:
- Calm seas
- A port in a storm
- Non-Navy showers
- A quiet year for pirates
- Mature college students
- Food prepared by others
- Ropes to keep the library books on the shelves
- Cameras that start up quickly from the off position
- Batteries that last and last and last and last
- Friends who follow our travels and post comments to our blog
- Buses with bathrooms
- Clean drinking water
- Plumbing
- New daughters
- Old friends
Happy Thanksgiving
Gobble, Gobble.
Don’t eat so much
You start to wobble!
Yours in thanksgiving,
Kelly
Buses with bathrooms? There has to be some sort of story there :) Glad to see the trip is going well, have a happy thanksgiving.

Kelly, It seems my last day at IDEM will come before you return to the US! I've accepted a job offer in Austin, Texas and will be leaving IDEM on December 1st. I'd just like to say it was a pleasure working with you. I will of course keep up with your blog and will keep in touch.
