Tuesday - February 28

We are back on Catrina after a night of flying thru the friendly skies with Captain Philip.    Great experience and I had my picture taken with the Capt. in the cockpit!   We landed in Fort Lauderdale, rented a car, drove to Fort Myers Beach, and we zombies went to bed!   How special to have 2 sons show us "their" thing within a 2-day period with Ryan flying off the Stennis back to Lemoore and Philip, flying us back to Florida!

Where oh where to begin with our Tiger Cruise memories.    Right now I'm still in la la land, and need to get all my notes, photos, etc. in some order.   However.....here is a  link which will give you a glimpse on what life aboard the Stennis was all about.    Our nephew, Jason sent us this from the New York Times and it is so well written.    This reporter had been on the ship earlier in the deployment (when the pirates were captured) and came back for the Tiger Cruise.  Ryan was one of many he interviewed for this article.   Mr. Chivers does an excellent job of really telling it "like it is"!

Late this afternoon, we visited Mark's sister, brother and spouses.   Jim and Mark took the rental car back to airport and then we had a wonderful dinner followed by euchre.

We Tigers/Nomads are sooo tired!   Till tomorrow...
