Oh the EXCITEMENT!

People complain that I have no pictures of ME in any of these places I go...

So here's a picture of me in New York! Note how thrilled I am to be here!





OR maybe what I should do is have the guys onboard take my picture in front of their big green screen and superimpose myself onto some of my other pictures... Now THAT'S an idea! Heh heh heh...

Anyway, we're in New York for the last time today. After we leave here, it's off to the Caribbean and then Miami, where we sail out of until April.

I had a passenger give me a gift last night... I mean she got something for several people but... I mean it's a $40 Nautica leather wallet, which is no small trinket. She was this Indian lady in her late 30s who had come on the cruise by herself. Ya know, finally having the resources to do all the things she's wanted to do and having the courage to get out there and do them... That sort of thing. Anyway, so Lisa first got to know her and then, through her, I was introduced, as well as several others. And I guess we made such a difference in her cruise - to have some people to talk to and hang out with in the evenings and stuff - that she got us all gifts. I was pretty blown away...

anyway... it sucks calling people sometimes because I use a prepaid phone card and it shows up as a number people don't recognize, so they don't answer. I mean I can't blame them, I did the same thing with unknown numbers. But still - got off the ship all excited to talk to a bunch of people and no one answered the phone. Did get to talk to my brother though, which was nice.

Anyway, it's about time to pack it up and head for the ship. I'd like to not be scrambling on 30 seconds before all aboard for once :)

So... I've got basic safety training for the next week, so I'm not sure how much time in ports I'll have so... We're in Miami on the 15th (which is when Felix moves out, actually) so hopefully I'll have a chance to get online sooner than the next 13 days. Blah!

But... Til then... Later!
