Hello out there!
We are on Sea Day 1 (out of 4 in a row!) and on our way to Hawaii. On this entire cruise there are 17 sea days, which is crazy. It’s a bit rough today, so these old folks are looking drunk and walking all over the place. Things are going good so far – there’s only one 11 year old boy on board, and he’s hanging out with his parents so it’s a great break from kids for me! I’m ready to get out of the kids program anyways, so it’s nice not to have to worry about them for awhile!
Anyways, We left Vancouver a little over a week ago and did a 5 day repositioning while stopping in Victoria (been there before, so I worked all day and gave someone else time off), San Francisco (I HAVE to go back there, I loved it – would really like to do Alcatraz and other cool sites around there) and San Diego yesterday. We ran to the mall in San Diego and on our way back there was a homeless guy chowing down on some French friends in a container. He says to us “Do you all have any spare change?” I replied with “No, I’m sorry, no change” and he says “Sorry doesn’t cut it lady.” So I turned around a bit in shock and said “Well then pay your own damn bills!” How rude! Thought it was a funny story though.
On our way down to San Diego we had a beautiful sea day – the sun was so bright I HATED that I had to work inside. Uh well, Hawaii and Bora Bora are only a few days away, right?
I think that’s all for now, just want to try and keep everyone posted about what is going on with me! Not sure how often we’ll get wireless or anything like that, but whenever I can I’ll post pictures, etc!
Hope all is well with everyone!

We will always remember 9/11...
September 11, 2008
First off, Happy Birthday tomorrow Robin!!! You're older than me ;)
Yes, I promised that I would keep up with this blog a little better this contract. I do have the access now and the ability to type and write things in here a bit easier now that I have my new fancy laptop J But, I just have nothing to write about yet...
Pictures are now posted, though! I’ve posted everything from the Floatplane, Sherwin’s birthday party and the Indonesian Independence day party.
We’re still in Alaska – only one week left to go! Thank goodness! The weather is turning colder, rainier and darker. Not pleasant at all! Sherwin and I are counting down the days until we can be in the sunshine and on the beach. Other than that, life is boring. Working a lot and trying to find what else I want to do on board. I have two ideas in mind, just having trouble deciding what steps to take next. I need a new challenge – the kids are getting old. Don’t get me wrong, the kids are tons of fun to work with – but the same programming week after week and the lack of supplies that we have…I’m just burnt out and need a new challenge! So keep your fingers crossed for me J
