I Miss My Man

I hadn't thought of that, maybe I will do that next time he goes away. He did say that the internet cards are pricey and that he prefers to take his laptop ashore if he gets time.

You may or may not know, apologies if you do, but if he sees the purser or officer responsible for crew then he should be able to get a list of port agent addresses for the upcoming ports, you can then send mail to the agent addressed to 'CREW NAME, SHIP NAME, C/O AGENT....' and you can send it out straight away, honestly its well worth it. Also, if he's doing a lot of time in Alaska then it could be worth him getting a US PAYG sim card, he can text you and you can call him. Once you get a routine with his time off and acceptable hours for you, you'll be sorted :-)

Thanks for that. The main problem is his lack of routine. He doesnt usually know his day off until the day before and his breaks are all over the place. Then theres the fact that Im in work full time and the 9 hour time diff when hes in Alaska. I guess I just have to keep busy and it will soon be August.

I would go to the ship more if I could afford it, but at £2500 a time, its just not possible. x
