Sun-Drenched & Olive Scented – Katakolan, Greece – [08/10/2013]
Fried cheese, sunshine, and big floppy hats. This was one of those good days. That sounded weird. Let me start again. Doing the whole ‘lunch’ thing in port is really only fun when you have someone to do lunch ‘with’. … Continue reading
A Woman In A Mask – Venice, Italy – [08/08/2013]
For me? Venice will always be a woman in a mask When one is on an itinerary that features a three day overnight in Venice, it seems only natural that you should have something at least vaguely resembling a masquerade. … Continue reading

On Your Mark….Again – Venice, Italy – [08/07/2013]
Every time a big change over happens in the entertainment department (such as this week when the cruise director left on vacation and the new fellow wanted to introduce himself to us all) there’s a big department meeting. We all … Continue reading
Magic and Masks – Venice, Italy – [08/06/2013]
For eleven years my favorite daydream has been just one place. My favorite “anywhere but here” destination has always been the same. For 5 years I sat in a darkened classroom at 8:30 in the morning and stared at slides … Continue reading

So Long [Crew] Farewell – Dubrovnik, Croatia – [08/05/2013]
I should mention that the end of this particular cruise – not this contract just this cruise – marks the end of an era. It really and truly does. Head Office is rolling out a major change in the way … Continue reading

Unexpected Muse – [08/05/2013]
There are certain things I can only do when I’m happy. One of those things is writing. It’s been what feels like ages since I really wrote. I blog yes, but blogging is not really the same thing as ‘writing’. … Continue reading

A Reassurance
Just so that all of you know, I am still alive 😉 I’m just in an area with not a lot of internet access and not a lot of time, so the entries are getting *written* there is just a … Continue reading
Far Away Places – Victoria, BC – [07/24/2013]
The last day before leaving for a contract always feels somewhat strange. You’re here but you’re not, and you’re pretty much convinced that you’ve forgotten something. That you’re going to get on the plane and realize in a flash that … Continue reading

I’m Beautiful…Dammit – Victoria – [07/15/2013]
Too wacked, too smart, too fast, too fine, too loud, too tough, too too divine. (I said you don’t belong. You don’t belong.) Too loud, too big, too much to bear, too bold, too brash, too prone to swear. I … Continue reading
