We left on our vacation, though Anne went begrudgingly. There was too much to do, not enough money or planning for the vacation, but we went. We left today Sunday, September 20th around noon. We made it to Naples at 7pm at night in the pouring rain. We decided to stay on base in Naples and let the rain pass us by.
The biggest problem for us was when we got on the ferry from the island of Sicily to the mainland, well Italians don't quite understand BIG F250 crew cab trucks. They put us in the lane for passenger cars and promptly "guided" us through the twists and turns to get on the ferry. OOPPPSSSS we are too BIG to make the last turn, no way to back up cars are qued behind us and even if not too many ramps to back down. Randy must have done a 1000 point turn, sometimes backing up less than a inch to get us on the ferry. THANK GOD on the other side there was a nice big exit ramp with no tight turns.
Day 1 over, with sleeping in BEQ (Bachelors Enlisted Quarters) Napoli, Italy. We made it to the mainland. AMEN!
