It is past 11 AM in Korea right now and I really want to call Joe, but he didn't get to bed until past 5 AM and so I do not want to wake him up if he is still asleep. He mentioned that he was going to be up at 8 AM to go somewhere with the squadron commander, but hopefully the trip is delayed until the afternoon.
Both Joe and I have a four-day weekend due to President's Day, but my weekend will be far more restful than his. His squadron had an alert on Friday night which kept him up until 6 or 7 AM. Then, on Saturday night he was up all night for a different reason. Neither of us can remember the last time he has a restful weekend, though I am guessing it was New Years Eve weekend when we went down to Seoul and stayed at a hotel for a couple days.
I wish I could whisk Joe away on a vacation for a couple weeks. Not a whirlwind tour of the US visiting everyone type vacation, but a real get away where he could rest, relax, enjoy the scenery, and not worry about his phone ringing in the middle of the night. We had hoped he would be able to come back to the States for Christmas and planned on touring around CA, but November changed everything and I ended up going to Korea for Christmas. The next time he will be able to take leave is August, which will be for a wonderful but not restful reason. Hopefully between now and then he will at least have a couple weekends where he can relax in Korea.
