Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 1, homeported in Gulfport, Miss. transferred authority of Camp Mitchell and ongoing Seabee missions through-out Europe and Africa to NMCB 4, homeported in Port Hueneme, Calif., during a transfer of authority (TOA) cer-emony held aboard Naval Station Rota, Spain, Feb. 14.

Commander Chad Brooks, commanding officer of NMCB 1, exchanged salutes with Cmdr. Jeffrey Kilian, commander of NMCB 4, in front of Capt. Gregory Sandway, commodore, Combined Task Force (CTF) 68, during the ceremony. The ceremony marked the official end of NMCB 1’s deployment to Europe and Africa, which began in August.

Sandway spoke of the work NMCB 1 completed dur-ing its deployment.

“You guys have definitely made a difference,” said Sandway. “You were robust, adaptive and you were certainly flexible. On behalf of Adm. Pandolfe, you did a superb job affecting a strategic operational tactical level. What is most impressive is you have affected the personal lives of the people you have worked for, the people you have worked with and the partner nations you have worked with. That’s why we all join the United States Navy.”

Sandway also spoke specifically to NMCB 4 during the ceremony.

“You have a very impressive record that you’re com-ing in with,” said Sandway. “Energize and utilize the expertise that you have. We can enable, do better and

do more. It goes right in line with the Seabee ‘Can Do’ spirit that I know you have. We’re not a ship, we’re not a submarine, we’re not an aircraft; but we do everything else. You guys play a vital role in this. I look forward to your expeditionary strength that you bring and your combat enabling. Hooyah.”

Brooks spoke of the success of NMCB 1 throughout the deployment aboard NAVSTA Rota.

“NMCB 1 had a terrific deployment supporting CTF 68, CJTF HOA and many other supported commanders,” said Brooks. “I’m very grateful for the support from the base, from the various staffs, from the adjacent units that helped us. It’s a collaborative effort here in Rota. I think it is very promising with FDNF coming that all the enti-ties on the base are prepared and work well together.”

Kilian spoke of the projects NMCB 4 will tackle as its deployment in Europe begins.

“It’s time to get started,” said Kilian. “We’ll be oper-ating throughout AFRICOM, CENTCOM and EUCOM, so we have the added COCOM that we’ll be supporting in addition to the two that have been established here already. We’ll be stretched quite a bit, but I know we’re ready for it. The team is ready."

Kilian also said NMCB 4’s goal is to “provide excep-tional operations support to our supporting commanders, to be safe and to execute quality construction.”

“It’s plain and simple: it’s time to go to work,” said Kilian.

Before the TOA, a two week-long inspection and re-view was conducted of all equipment, supplies, projects and facilities.

The Navy Exchange (NEX) is improv-ing laundry facilities on base by replacing worn out dryers and installing Wi-Fi by the middle of March.

The NEX will install 12 new dryers as a result of frequent maintenance issues, according to NEX Store Manager Rick Nelson.

“It’s gotten to the point where ma-chines are going down too often … espe-cially on the weekends when people use them the most,” said Nelson.

The installation, set to begin this week, should result in a 20 percent reduction of dryer availability according to Nelson.

“They’re double-stacked, one on top of the other, and we’ll do one at a time so that we don’t take everything down,” said

Nelson. “It will take about three weeks to replace all dryers. It will limit [the usage of the Laundromat] while they’re changing out two at a time.”

“Please bear with us, a little inconve-nience for a little longer,” said Nelson. “We’ll have new machines, new dryers in here.”

Nelson also reminds Laundromat patrons to minimize the number of items that are put into the machines. Overload-ing the machines causes them to break down faster because the machines are having to work twice as hard, according to Nelson.

The NEX also recently installed two, 30-pound extractor washers. The large-load washers allow patrons to wash large items including comforters and bed spreads.

Team Rota,I hate to start out this week’s column with a negative, but if

you have been watching the news from back home about our budget, and I have, you can’t help but notice all the items about the fiscal cliff. The question we should be asking is, “How does this affect us in Rota?”

We are feeling some pangs from the ongoing continuing reso-lution (CR) and they are being compounded by the possibility of sequestration on the near horizon. Neither are comfortable, but

they offer our community even more opportunities to grow and serve and become another benchmark of suc-cess for the Department of Defense (DoD).

Team Rota is renown around the DoD for our remarkable teamwork and our ability to accomplish high-value missions and deliver top-shelf prod-uct. We can do this because we work across “designators.” We don’t allow conventional paradigms to become

obstacles to teamwork and taking care of one another. Some may call that the “Mayberry effect;” I call it a true community.

Whether you wear a uniform or civilian attire to work, whether you work by supporting your spouse and family from home or whether you get paid for your work or not, you are a vital part of this team. Yes, I said that right; many in our community are working for free.

We have an amazing volunteer workforce here that is truly at the center of this community. They are putting this community and our individual and collective well being above themselves. They are directly impacting the programs offered and directly impacting our quality of life.

If you think you don’t have anything to offer, I assure you you’re underestimating yourself and the needs of this com-munity. If you think you are overqualified, you might need to rethink that, too.

Here are some positions being filled by volunteers right now on this base. They are superstars:

- We have a registered nurse (RN) working for free at the hospital.

- We have a dentist working for free at the dental clinic.

- We have a computer guru working the hospital’s computer system (IT).

- Many of you are volunteering with After School Scholars at DGF.

- Many are volunteering in administrative and record keep-ing positions.

- Many are coaches and Scout leaders.- Many rally the community as event coordinators.- Many make the Rota Animal Welfare League (RAWL)

happen. We have an amazing volunteer workforce here, but it will have

to grow if we are to weather the effects of CR and sequestration with minimal pain.

Many who volunteer may not even realize how their efforts result in our ultimate mission success. Just last week we had participants in the CPO 365 Program and first classes from the First Class Association volunteer to paint at the CDC in support of their upcoming inspection. A perfect example of a COMREL project that directly supports mission needs!

The Red Cross is a great conduit for volunteering. They are currently looking for more volunteers for the After School Schol-ars program. After School Scholars is 100 percent volunteer run. Without it, many children will not receive the extra help they could use with literacy. The Red Cross is also helping Legal and DGF find volunteers as legal assistants and broadcast experts, respectively.

The Rota Animal Welfare League is in dire need of more volunteers and support. RAWL is 100 percent volunteer run.

In just about every service and program offered in this com-munity there is likely a need for volunteer support. If you can, take this opportunity to get out and give back to the community. We need it now as much or more than ever.

Whatever belt tightening lies ahead, Team Rota is up to the task. We know budget constraints can be tough, and we truly appreciate everyone who chips in to do their part to ensure Rota remains the best base in the Navy. We can do anything so long as we continue to pull together and work together as a community.

Finally, a hearty BRAVO ZULU to all of you who are volun-teering!

HOOYAH! CMC

Volunteers Provide a Vital Role as Team Rota

2013 Military Saves Week, part of the DoD Financial Readiness Campaign, is a chance for service members and their families to assess their own sav-ings status and take financial action. Studies show that having a savings plan with specific goals can have beneficial financial effects, regardless of income level. The Military Saves Week theme, “Set a Goal. Make a Plan. Save Au-tomatically,” encourages individuals to do just that.

This Military Saves Week, join more than 310,000 people who have pledged to save by taking the Military Saves Pledge. Already taken the pledge? Mili-tary Saves encourages you to recommit

to your savings goals and re-pledge today.

When savers take the Military Saves pledge they can receive:

- Free subscription to the monthly Military Saves e-newsletter.

- Free myFICO credit score for service members and their spouses, courtesy of FINRA Investor Education Foundation.

- Quarterly e-newsletters from America Saves.

Savers can also get tips by following Military Saves on Facebook and Twitter and by reading the Military Saves blog. Encourage people to go viral with their savings goals. Take a picture and post it on Facebook and tag @MilitarySaves.

Naval Station Rota, Spain Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) and the

Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) will also host a “Poker Run” for single and unaccompanied service members March 1. Participants will visit different locations around the base and collect poker cards to make a hand. The run will begin at 9 a.m. at the Liberty Center where par-ticipants will sign up on the Saves and Invest Web page, take the pledge and receive their first poker card.

Participants will then proceed to the other locations to receive other savings-related services and additional poker cards. When participants have at least five cards (a poker hand) they may re-turn to Liberty to have their poker hand tallied -the top three highest hands win prizes provided by MWR. The “Poker Run” is not an athletic, gambling or a timed event; participants may take as

much time as they need to complete it as long as they return to the Liberty Center no later than 3 p.m. and have at least five cards when they do so.

The Coastline is Looking for Guest WritersThe Coastline is looking for guest writers. Are you traveling some place fun,

attending a sporting event, participating in a workshop or cooking class or leading special training in your office or community? Do you have suggestions for The Coastline readers to try? If so, we want to hear from YOU!

Please send story and photo submissions to The Coastline at [email protected].

You don't have to be a professional writer. Let's get the word out about the community we live in.

New Year's resolutions to get fit and stay healthy are frequently made. What about resolutions for mental health? What is good emotional health? People who are emotionally healthy are in control of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. They feel good about themselves and have good relationships. They can keep problems in perspective. It's important to remember that people who have good emotional health sometimes have emo-tional problems or mental illness. Mental illness often has a physical cause, such as a chemical imbalance in the brain. Stress and problems with family, work or school can sometimes trigger mental illness or make it worse. However, people who are emotionally healthy have learned ways to cope with stress and problems. They know when they need to seek help from their doctor or a counselor.What about anger?

People are sometimes not aware of what causes their anger, how much anger they are holding inside or how to express

anger. You may be angry about certain events of your own or other people's ac-tions. Also, many little things can build up to make you feel that life is unfair. If you find yourself becoming increasingly ir-ritable or taking unhealthy risks (like drink-ing too much), you may have a problem dealing with anger. It's very important to talk with your doctor or a counselor about getting help. How does stress affect my emotions?

Your body responds to stress by mak-ing stress hormones. These hormones help your body respond to situations of ex-treme need. When your body makes too many of these hormones for a long period of time, the hormones wear down your body and your emotions. People who are under stress a lot are often emotional, anxious, irritable and even depressed. If possible, try to change the situation that is causing your stress. Relaxation methods, such as deep breathing and meditation, and exercise are also useful ways to cope with stress. Can emotional problems be treated?

Yes. Counseling, support groups and

medicines can help people who have emotional problems or mental illness. If you have an ongoing emotional problem, talk to your family doctor. He or she can help you find the right type of treatment. What can I do to avoid problems?

First, notice your emotions and reac-tions and try to understand them. Learn-ing how to sort out the causes of sadness, frustration and anger in your life can help you better manage your emotional health. The list below gives some other helpful tips.Tips on dealing with your emotions:

- Learn to express your feelings in ap-propriate ways. It's important to let people close to you know when something is bothering you. Keeping feelings of sad-ness or anger inside takes extra energy and can cause problems in your relation-ships and at work or school.

- Think before you act. Emotions can be powerful; but before you get carried away by your emotions and say or do something you might regret, give yourself time to think.

- Strive for balance in your life. Make

time for things you enjoy and focus on positive things in your life.

- Take care of your physical health. Your physical health can affect your emo-tional health. Take care of your body by exercising regularly, eating healthy and getting enough sleep. Don't abuse drugs or alcohol.

The military has a variety of trained professionals to meet your needs. Coun-seling services are free and are not entered into your service record or affect your advancement opportunities. During the first meeting, the Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) counselors will explain the limits to privacy and confiden-tiality and the circumstances under which they are required to report to the com-mand or others. Call today and schedule an appointment.

Fifteen swimmers from the Rota Swim Club (RSC) traveled to the Pieter van den Hoogenband Zwemstadion in Eindhoven, Netherlands, to attend the European Forces Swim League (EFSL) 2013 Championships this weekend.

The swimmers were among the 390 swimmers representing 20 swim teams across Europe. They brought home medals in 15 events.

Five of the Rota swimmers were recognized for achieving Pentathlon awards (earning top times in the five competitive events), and 10 swimmers had a perfect meet, improving their own personal best times in each event. Some swimmers dropped between 15 - 30 seconds in events, and every swimmer in attendance improved in at least one of their times during the two-day meet.

"What an event," said Ward Demer-itt, whose son Keenan medaled at the event. "This was high-level interna-tional competition at its best. I couldn't have been more proud of Team Rota."

The event also marks the end of a year of training for the young swim-mers.

"Our training started in March of 2012. These kids trained hard all year and never lost focus or motivation," said RSC coach Ryan West. "Their passion for this sport is inspirational and their dedication is evident in the results of each of their swims. Even the swimmers who struggled on the first

day wouldn't quit and came out swing-ing on day two, dropping good time.”

The RSC has had a team record-breaking season. Nathaniel Truemper broke the 400-meter freestyle team record at the championship swim meet. Emma Bond improved on her own 50 butterfly team record with a shoulder injury at the championships. Also this season, Brady Furleigh became the team record holder for the 50-meter freestyle, 200-meter freestyle and 100-meter butterfly.

The team is now taking a two-week break before their awards banquet.

"I am very proud of each and every swimmer and I am looking forward to the awards banquet to see their faces when they receive the final season awards. It will be a great night," said West. "I am also proud of our parents and volunteers, without whom this season wouldn't have been possible. We have a great team, an awesome support network and dedicated base organizations such as MWR, Coastline and DGF. I am very happy to work for all these people."

The team will continue with off-season training throughout the spring and summer. West is also planning a swim camp before the new season gets underway. New swimmers are welcome to try out and join the RSC team.

Since 1977, this event has marked the end of the league’s regular season, and gives the competitors the oppor-tunity to compete in an Olympic-size swimming pool.

Due to increased pet abandonment, on- and off-base and potential budget cuts, the Rota Animal Welfare League (RAWL) aboard Naval Station Rota, Spain may no longer be an option.

Recently the facility has become over-capacitated with returning and abandoned pets. There are also many structural issues with the facility.

“This facility was never intended to be a place where service members could bring their pets because they failed to prepare for a PCS move,” said RAWL President Lindy Seto. “It has been extremely difficult over the past two years. We have seen a big increase in returning adoptions as well as pets from the United States being left when members PCS.”

Seto added that staff members have coined RAWL as the “rent-a-pet shelter” due to members adopting and returning their pets.

“Once the executive board at RAWL started seeing such a consistent pat-tern, we wanted to evaluate what was causing these animals to be returned,” said Seto. “The outcome was not ser-vice members receiving emergency PCS orders to a country that has a quarantine, but simply a lack of financial planning on their part. Dumping your

animal at RAWL or an off base facility shouldn’t be an option and those found guilty of this should be held account-able.“

Currently the base has no policy in place to govern pet abandonment.

“We have found that there are people abusing RAWL,” said NAVSTA Rota Command Master Chief David Twiford. “If you adopt a pet, it is your pet for life. You don’t bring the animal back to the shelter just because you don’t want to pay to transport the animal.”

Twiford added that RAWL relies on volunteers and donations, so if people aren’t volunteering, assisting with dona-tions and governing themselves con-cerning the treatment of their animals, RAWL will have to close its doors.

The shelter currently houses 56 ani-mals. Staff members plan to continue to volunteer as along as there are pets to be taken care of.

“If over the course of the next four to six months, if the executive board at RAWL and the community can’t come up with a plan to get this facility back running where it needs to be and de-crease pet abandonment, we will have to stop taking pets and close our doors,” said Seto. “We are very passionate about this facility, but I feel we are being taken advantage of and it has to stop.”

The Rota Animal Welfare League

is an independent animal care facility that was started over 25 years ago as a shelter to assist with the overflow of pets in the local community. It is fully funded by donations and staffed by volunteer workers.

Five Heart Healthy FoodsWeekly Health Tip

According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics there are five top heart healthy foods that will help to lower your risk of heart disease. The five foods are oatmeal, soy, spinach, salmon and walnuts.

- Oatmeal is a hearty breakfast staple that is a good source of soluble fiber, helps regulate blood sugar levels and carries excess cholesterol out of the body.

- Soy has been shown to reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and it can also replace some of the saturated fats from meats and dairy in your diet.

- Spinach is rich in potassium, which can help lower blood pressure levels, is low in calories and is a good source of fiber. This provides bulk that fills you up faster, making it an important ally in the war against excess weight.

- Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower triglyceride levels, reduce the risk of blood clots, reduce the overall risk for heart attacks and lower blood pressure levels.

- Walnuts are a good source of polyunsaturated fat - the kind that's been shown to reduce blood cholesterol levels and lowers the production of LDL cholesterol in the body. Be careful, nuts are high in calories, which can cause you to pack on pounds if you eat too much.

Add the five heart healthy foods to your diet and be healthy for life!

A recent policy change allows Sailors with a Perform to Serve (PTS) "Intends to Separate" status to participate in the upcoming March 2013 examination.

Naval Administrative Message (NAV-ADMIN) 023/13, released Feb. 8, provides updated guidance for the Cycle 219/March 2013 Navy-wide enlisted examinations for active duty, active Reserve, full-time support and canvasser recruiter advancement.

For the September 2012 advancement cycle 216, active duty Sailors who had an "In-tends to Separate" PTS status were ineligible for the Navy-wide advancement examination. NAVADMIN 023/13 explains that changes in retention behavior, and the Navy's shifting posture from downsizing to stabilizing, have enabled candidates in a PTS "Intends to Sepa-rate" status to be eligible for advancement.

Sailors who have received final PTS denial (Denied Final - Active) on their December PTS application remain ineligible to participate in the March examination.

Another important change announced in NAVADMIN 023/13 concerns security clear-ance requirements for advancement. A favor-able investigation adjudication issued by the Department of the Navy Central Adjudication Facility (DONCAF) remains a requirement. However, the updated policy now allows a Sailor to take the advancement exam with an interim clearance issued by the unit command-ing officer while awaiting formal adjudication from DONCAF. That interim clearance must

be granted prior to the first day of the month of the regularly scheduled examination date.

"The intent of this change is to minimize adverse impact to advancement opportunity for those Sailors who have properly applied for a security clearance and are awaiting a final determination," said Enlisted Plans and Policy Branch Head Cmdr. Renee Squier. "However, every effort should be taken by the command and the individual to receive final determinations on all Sailors requiring a security clearance as soon as possible."

For certain ratings listed in the Cycle 219 NAVADMIN 342/12, as well as Sailors in the Cryptologic Technician (Maintenance (CTM) rating and all nuclear and submarine ratings who do not meet security clearance require-ments, remain ineligible for advancement and should not participate in an advancement examination.

It was Valentine’s Day and my heart was broken. I thought she was the one. I thought we had an amazing relationship. I was filled with joy and walking on air. But after three long, beautiful, memory-filled … days, she dumped me on Valentine’s Day.

She didn’t dump me in person. She didn’t dump me over the phone. She didn’t even dump me through a friend in person or through a friend over the phone.

Instead she wrote a letter. Well … it was more like a note. It was the kind of note that you fold up and write designs on, the way you would in middle school because after all, we were in middle school.

I’ve always worn my heart on my sleeve. Actually, I’m more like the guy who takes my heart off my sleeve and throws it at you. Just ask my wife. Somehow she married me even after dodging several of my cardiac cannonballs. Fortunately for me, she caught one, and we’ve been together much longer than three days.

We’ve all had different experiences with love. Some people are hopeless romantics while others are jaded

and bitter. Regardless of our histories, we’ve all been disappointed at one time or another by love that failed. Perhaps a vow was broken, an expectation not met, trust that was violated or forgiveness not granted.

These experiences have a tendency to shape the way we experience and un-derstand God’s love. This is why two people can experience the same event and interpret God’s love so differently. For this reason, in the midst of conflicting and confusing thoughts, I turn to the Scriptures I believe in to ensure I know the truth about love and about God.

I am reminded of a familiar passage from the Bible often read at weddings, “Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way, it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things,” 1 Corinthians 13:4 - 7.

This passage is a challenge for me to love in a way that I could say, “I am patient; I am kind; I am not envious or boastful…” But even more, when I fail in these areas or experience the impact of others who do and as a result get tempted to question God’s love, this passage reminds me of the truth. God is patient; God is kind; I am never unloved because God endures all things. As the Bible says elsewhere: God is love.

So if you ever doubt if you are loved, or can be forgiven, or if you are tempted to think God has abandoned you or failed you, be reminded of the truth of God’s love, and know that God is always hurling his heavy heart your way.

If you would like to speak confidentially to a chaplain regarding this article or any other matter, please contact the Religious Ministries Department at 727-2161.

14 February 21, 2013 C LVISTA

My family and I recently returned from a week-long, road-trip adventure through much of Spain, Andorra and southern France. We covered about 2,000 miles in eight days.

Since our return, I have been surprised at how many people have asked, “Why drive?” when we could have easily hopped a cheap flight to another country and arrived in a matter of hours. Why would we cram the family and eight days worth of stuff in the car and drive such a considerable distance?

A road trip affords an enormous amount of quality family time, and is a great way to connect with each other in the absence of TV, social networks and the stresses of everyday life. A road trip is also a great way to experience a country or a region in a more in-depth and personal way. Driving your own car means you can be flexible and alter your schedule to see what you want to see, but it’s really more about the journey than the destination. Anyway you do it - by plane, train or car - travelling with a family is expensive ... it just is. For anyone considering a European vacation, “road-trip style,” here are a few travel tips we have learned along the way to keep costs in check and help make the trip fun for everyone.

1 Chain HotelsEuropean hotel rooms are small and it can be dif-

ficult to find a room large enough for a family where

you don't have to pay for two rooms every night. If you opt to stay at a chain hotel, while it may not seem very "European," there are a lot of benefits. The other fact is that by the time you get there you are so tired that you really don't care that it doesn't have a fancy sink and a bidet. There is comfort in consistency, which chain hotels almost always provide. We stayed almost entirely in a U.S.-based chain hotel and never paid more than $100 per night for a family of four. The biggest benefits to a hotel like this are that they are often located in suburban areas, just outside the city and typically within walking distance to public trans-portation. Parking is usually free, or nominal, and you can leave your car and take the train or bus to and from the city. Join whatever "priority" or membership club the hotel has, as there are always some benefits to this. If Wi-Fi is not free, they usually waive the fee for preferred members, and Wi-Fi is essential to plan-ning your next day's travel. Best of all, chain hotels almost always include breakfast for free - a variety of innocuous food that everyone will eat. Eat this food.

2 Bring SnacksFind a local supermarket and stock up on healthy

snacks for the car. I packed a jar of peanut butter, some crackers and baguettes and a bag of oranges from home, which travel well and don't need to be refrigerated. We also bought things along the way as needed. One of the biggest expenses on a long trip is dining out. With free breakfast in the hotel, and

February 21 2013 15C L VISTAsnacks in the car to stave off hunger, we only ate out one meal a day. On this subject, when you do eat out, eat whatever the region is known for, and ask for a recommendation from the hotel. Hopefully you'll want to experience the cuisine of the local area, and if you're going to pay a lot for a meal you want it to be good!

3 Toll Roads and GasWhen driving in Europe, be prepared to pay tolls. Expensive tolls. Often. We

paid almost $200 in tolls alone on this trip, and while we were expecting to pay tolls, we had no idea what the extent or cost would be. Plan for this. While it seems excessive at times, many toll roads/tunnels/bridges afford a more direct path to your destination, and the roads are well-maintained and easy to travel. When filling up, don't buy gas at the first place you see, unless it seems like a good deal based on what you’ve been seeing along the way. Gas runs on average $7 per gallon, so it pays to shop around a bit. These savings add up over 2,000 miles.

4 Make it Fun for EveryoneEspecially if you are travelling with children, and even if you’re

not, make sure everyone on the trip gets to do something that they really want to do. Each person should have opportunities to choose an activity/museum/event/historical site or whatever is of particular interest to them. Children especially will be much more interested and engaged in the journey if they feel they have some ownership of the travel plans. Older children may enjoy reading travel books along the way to learn about each destination and see what might be there which is of interest to them. Having a say-so in the plan for each day gives everyone something to look forward to, and makes it much more enjoyable.

5 Roll With ItCar trips are an adventure, and there will be highs and lows. Your

kids will pester each other when they get bored. You will get grumpy. You will drive the wrong way down a one-way street and find three lanes of traffic heading straight for you. You likely will live through it. You will contemplate jumping out of your vehicle moving at a high speed. But, you will also share countless experiences together, and a lot of laughs, and the good almost always outweighs the bad. And, the bad always makes for a funny memory when it's had time to fade a bit. Your kids will remember the journey, maybe even more than the destination, and you will have shared a fantastic adventure together. Safe travels, my friends!
