bon voyage holland

this is my last post from holland. tomorrow i go fly to bangkok! I hate long haul overnight flights because i cant sleep and am usually ill. But it should be fun other than that. there are 46 of us going from holland and another 30 people meeting us out there. So it will be a large group. We then have two weeks preship training. This involves life boats, firefighting and jumping into swimming pools from great heights apparently. I will be stationed about 2 hours south of bangkok and then the ship is about another hour and a half from there. Apparently we get to do a couple of days training on the ship which has never happened before. However please pray that we get some engineers for the ship or it wont be making it out of sattihip and to bangkok!!
The time here in holland has gone so quickly and it felt really weird packing my suitcase again. i am also aware that i will have to say goodbye to another set of friends! but hopefull i will make alot more out in thailand
