Long Haul Life

[belchfire]

Eat 'till you're tired, sleep 'till you're hungry....

...

and do laundry when you can.

The sink or tub work, laundry is cheap outside the hotel in Hong Kong (don't use the valet service anywhere unless you want to pay $8/pr of socks) and many places have a laundramat within walking distance. Some hotels even have one.

I use text messaging it works pretty good. Usually I will tell my wife that the Bangkok girls are prettier than the Romanian girls, but the Swedes have them all beat. That makes her feel good. The best thing about long haul is getting home again. I do the laundry the same as the rest of you guys. I often wonder what the maids think when they come in the room with all those clothes hanging around.We do non-sked people our contract says max 14 days but if you take a day off you can stretch it to 28. Crewing loves to keep you out as long as possible, i never figured out why??

Wow, I thought you guys only went out for 7 days at a time.
