I officially found out what ship i will be spending the next four months on!! I am going to be on the APL President Jackson, a container ship that is 902 ft. long, which is about three football fields long.So where will i be going? I depart NY on November 5 and will travel to Dubai, Sri Lanka - India, Port Kelan - Malaysia, Singapore, the Suez Canal, The Straits of Gibralter, and the Gulf of Aden... to go to Singapore and back will take around 60 days... i will do two runs, which equals to 112 days out at sea. This is about the closest you can come to taking a ship, who has a scheduled route, around the world. Lots of picture opportunities!!
This is the Route to Singapore via the Atlantic Ocean. (Click to see bigger)

Dearest Keegan!
I have already sent one comment to you, not showing that you got it. Just in case, I just want you to know how proud of you I am..This is quite a thrill for you, I know. Such a great opportunity of seeing the world and you not being on active duty. That helps me to except it better. I know that we will miss you, but this time will just fly by, I know., As I said before, I wish you the best and will continue to pray for your safety and will be looking forward you coming home for a few days. That way, we can give you a better send off that way. The Ship is beautiful. The history of this Ship is very interesting. Love you and miss you. Love "Gingall"
