HERSHEY'S..."

Okay, I know this is a rather strange blog title.  In fact, it will be a rather strange blog.  Hershey's.  Yes, Hershey's chocolate.  Container.  Container? You may ask.

See, we receive a container from the United States about once every 6 weeks or so.  THis container was LONG over due.   Now, for you this may not be a big deal.  But for those of us who live on this ship and are spoiled by our US container we LOVE when the US container arrives. 

Not only does the container bring needed medical supplies for the hospital.  It also brings supplies for the galley, for the ship shop/snack bar, departmental supplies, and also personal gifts/orders.  Since South Africa, we have run low if not almost out of our personal supplies on the ship.

This container was desperately needed.  We had run out of coffee beans for the cafe, filters for the coffee in the galley, and we were almost out of chocolate.  For a crew that sometimes run on the fumes of stress, the two most precious supplies in life are coffee and chocolate!

So today after work, I was greeted by my bouncing daughter yelling:  "Hershey's...Hershey's....Hershey's"  (She does LOVE her chocolate.)  Which means we have all sorts of wonderful chocolate treats again and of course the fuel of the ship...coffee.  Yeah for container day!!!
