I recently received a nice email from Liz, who I met at SpouseBUZZ Live in Tacoma last year. She had a question that I don't know how to answer:
"Hi.I was hoping I could ask you a question about visiting my husband at a
port of call while he is on a 6 month deployment.
I
This is my husband's first "out to sea" and I have never been out of
the country. Any suggestions about traveling overseas? I will be flying
to Singapore and I am just curious if you or anyone you know has ever
made a port call and if you might have some tips.
Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated!
Thanks"
Well, I've traveled outside the country, but I've never met my husband at a port call. We've always had small children, or I've had a job that was hard to leave, or their schedule was set in jello, or we didn't have the money.
I'm sure that we have some SpouseBUZZers who have met their husbands at port calls. Would you please share your experiences? I bet Liz isn't the only person who has questions.
Thank you to everyone for your answers, and thanks to Liz for writing in. That's why we're here!
