A Night in Paris


After swingin by the north pole, we made a brief stop in Brest, France. We then hopped a train to Paris for a day to see the sights and party it up Parisian style. I made it to Inverness, Notre Dame, The Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Musee D'Orsay, and the Arch de Triumph.

The Frozen North


My most recent adventure brought me to the north pole. We surface through five feet of ice and sat there for two days.

But first, it was work before play, makin sure no polar bears tried to join in the fun

When I finally got to go topside, I realized we were only a short par three away from the pole

So I returned the favor once we surfaced at the North pole

Then Todd brought up the point that the children might not appreciate my actions

So I kindly explained my actions

Unforunately Santa wasn't as understanding. Lesson Learned...stay away from the naughty list, it sucks these days

So I decided it best to say so long to the north pole

The Stewart Clan Visits Hawaii


I recommend spending the sunsets with a lovely lady

moms and pops enjoying a hawaiian sunset

Homecoming


Thanks to Mom, Dad, Brenda, Grandma, Denise, Elizabeth, Courtney, and Diana for welcoming me home on the pier

We rushed to make ourselves presentable as homecoming day approached.

...back in Pearl Harbor after six months at sea

Guam Take 2


Back on Guam to hang with the Cous

The Ultimate Challenge


What do you get when you put together an engineer and an architect....other than boring conversation? The remote controlled goodyear blimp obstacle course.

This is what second place looks like

Extremes


This must be why people laugh when I say I'm a submariner. Apparently Nav and Corly think it's hilarious.

Before


Not naming any names, one of us who went may not have been able to stomach the waves. What can I say, I'm not trained to be on the surface

Deep Sea Fishin


This is one of many catches during our deep sea adventure. Unfortunately it's in inches not feet

After


The muscles were almost still twitchin on our tongues

Not Good


...not what you want to see when you are stuck in a tube with 150 other men.

Okinawa


We had to make and unexpected overnight stop to fix some stuff.

Merry Christmas


I made sure to take some time on Christmas day to hide out in my rack and watch the classics.

The holiday season made the days go a little slower, but they continued to pass......7 weeks and counting

A little christmas cheer provided by the wives club.

After T-Day, I filled my rack with the necessary 45 day load out and we dissapeared for the rest of the holiday season.

Yokosuka...again


We got to play dress up again when we were invited to the Tokyo-America club for Thanksgiving dinner.

Military Medicine


Word of advice.....never tell the navy you have a toothache.

We had to bust out the winter attire for pulling into Yokosuka in November

Guam

Guam - where greetings by handshake or kiss cannot compare to a friendly leg massage.

Island Life

The island flavor was very similar to Hawaii. Posted by Picasa
Guam was great becuase I have family on the island. My cousin Aaron has lived there for a couple years workin and enjoying the island. This is the view from the front door of his place. Posted by Picasa

The Hike

Aaron and I went on a hike to a couple caves. It was about a mile hike to this hidden entrance Posted by Picasa
Aaron was instructed just to scream if anything tried to grab or bite him. I just made sure to leave adequate distance between us Posted by Picasa
To get to the inner cave we had to slide through a crevass which apparently is one of the hot spots for the local cockroach population Posted by Picasa
Once in the cave, Aaron (cousin) and I set out to explore Posted by Picasa
The lights we brought showed off the cave's white limestone Posted by Picasa
