Ds has announced his news. Dh had told me he had some but he finally had a chance to tell me on Tuesday so posted it today on FB.
He's off to Iceland on the 19th to visit with dfs. Dfs is on maneuvers aboard his ship, first northern Canada, then Greenland, then Ireland, and Norway was where he posted from last. The ship is in Iceland for about a week and dfs has got permission for ds to bunk on board during the stay. There are cheap flights at this time of year so ds is off for another adventure, this time with his "brother."
BTW: dfs keeps linking to shots of what the ship is up to during these Naval exercises on Facebook but I can't share a link directly to those. This one was posted today on Flickr. He didn't know about it until his wife posted it on her facebook page.

As long as I'm posting links.... here's a link to the apartment photo album.
