I Took A Photo

@nojudging okay I've been to Launnie and Devonport and Burnie and all up there quite a few times. Its just as good as south. I just love my Tassie :)

@Scubaguy027. The big aircraft carier ship? I remember that, it almost filled up the river and didn't come to the wharf because it was probably too big. We met a girl who was on it, I think her name was Karen, but I'm not sure. She had dinner with us because my dad had some contacts. He used to be in the navy, a submariner :)

That's it! That's definitely the ship I saw. Wow I can't believe you were on it and now we are talking to each other... Soo cool :)

Oh definitely. I'll get back eventually. This Pearl Harbor after we left Hobart maybe two weeks later [image deleted]

@Jenna yep. The large ships don't get to go to places like that very often which made it better I think.

Lol, map of Tassie haha. That's soo 80's. Nobody has maps anymore haha 😂

@OWTFWN yes it is. My old hometown.

@Ghostrider. Okay I'll do it asap 😇

@Scubaguy027. I couldn't believe how big it was... It was HUGE!!!! And Karen was soo nice and she said she really enjoyed coming there. I'm glad you did too. I think my dad has some photos of your ship. I'm going to look at them when I see him :)

Oh yeah we went out for six weeks for training in the summer of 01 and were supposed to deploy Jan of 02. After 9/11, rushed our training and pulled out two months early and 7 1/2 months later we were home.

Omigosh, yeah I remember Karen saying they had been away from home for soo long, but I didn't remember it was that long! Six months! you would have been soo glad to get home.

@OWTFWN I was still a teen and my dad had to move interstate so we all had to go too. Now I have a job here and my family is here too. But I WILL move back one day. I really really will! 💕

@Jenna I would love to come back. Now that I'm older I will be sober more than half the time. Lol. To be young and dumb again. I do need to buy a kangaroo but sack coin purse if I ever get back there

I had the chance to go there in 2002 when the USS Stennis pulled in and that was probably the most fun I had. Amazing town and awesome people

@jenna no I'm from the North but spend plenty of time in the South as well. I meant local as in a Tassie. I like visiting elsewhere but love coming home. 🙂

I spent about 9 months of my life on that one. When we pulled I think at that point we had been out six to six and a half months.

Well Scubaguy027, you really must come back. I think you would really enjoy it :)

Yeah Jenna. You should move back so I have somewhere to crash when I go there.lol

That must have been hard. You must have missed your family and friends soo bad :(

You get used to it wasn't the last time either

As a local, I'm happy to enjoy it on your behalf. 🙂

Just another reason to go and see Tasmania

The whole map of Tassie thing.lol

@Ghostrider... why? lol I'm a good girl 😚

Careful how you say that jenna.lol

@nojudging... are you from Hobart?

Lol. Ooookk then.....

Beautiful <3

Wow, that's amazing. A beautiful town.
