Mother, wife, sailor, officer, friend, daughter. All of them important, all of them a vital part of me. I like to think of myself as multifaceted, like a diamond. It requires all the sides to be at its best and shine the brightest. This page will be a chronicling of the adventures of The Furqans and our time in the Far East.  We hope to use this forum to keep in contact with the friends and family we leave behind in the states.  We hope that you will comment, respond and laugh with us as we go on this amazing journey
