Since he has been in Germany, we have been using Skype to communicate with Bob. What a great tool. It has been comforting to not only hear him but to see him as well.
We last talked to Bob more than two weeks ago. He has been busy getting ready for his deployment and has also had trouble with his Internet. So, were we not exactly sure when he would be leaving...until today. Here is a copy of the chat he had this morning with Dan:
[6:42:10 AM] Bob Peters: Hey. I'm tryin to get online right now
[6:42:28 AM] *** Call to Bob Peters, no answer. ***
[6:42:52 AM] Dan Peters: I see you but it keeps saying no answer.
[6:43:22 AM] Bob Peters: Yeah. I'm on my iPod right now
[6:43:41 AM] Dan Peters: Are you still in Germany?
[6:44:29 AM] Bob Peters: Yeah. I'm at the airport right now. Were supposed to be leaving this afternoon
[6:45:47 AM] Dan Peters: Do you think you will have Internet communication when you get to Salerno?
[6:47:45 AM] Bob Peters: We are supposed to. We might even have it in our rooms
[6:48:44 AM] Dan Peters: Are you ready for the next adventure? Mom and I have been thinking about you a lot. We are proud of you!
[6:49:50 AM] Bob Peters: Yeah I'm ready. I've been thinking about you guys too. Hope you are doing well
[6:50:39 AM] Dan Peters: We are doing fine. Don't worry about us. How long to get to Salerno?
[6:52:00 AM] Bob Peters: I'm not sure exactly. I know it's still gonna be a couple days til we get there
[6:54:00 AM] Dan Peters: Okay. Be safe. We will be thinking of you. I will update the family on your status. A lot of people have been asking about you and wanting to know how you are doing. Everyone is very proud of you!
[6:56:09 AM] Bob Peters: Alright dad I should go before my iPod completely dies. I'll get in touch with you as soon as I can. I will be safe and I love you guys
[6:56:35 AM] Dan Peters: Take care. I love you too!
We will keep you posted when we hear from him again.
