School Daze – Corfu, Greece – [08/03/2013]
As of the end of this cruise, I have to train someone. Me! Train someone! I am a little nervous about this really, I mean when you mentor someone it’s your work ethic that they carry with them for at … Continue reading
Grecian Urns – Katakolon, Greece – [08/02/2013]
Katakolon is one of those ports where there isn’t a great deal to do once you’ve been there before – unless you are taking the tour out to Olympia which, even after several calls here still has not lined up … Continue reading
Keeping Pace – Athens, Greece – [08/11/2013]
Still in Greece, today Athens spills ahead of us like some kind of crazy concrete quilt. I have IPM today, but I’m not too worried by that. I’m fortunate enough to have done the tour to the Acropolis already, and … Continue reading

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

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

I Hadn’t Tried Dubrovnik – Dubrovnik, Croatia – [08/05/2013]
The last time I came to Dubrovnik it rained. A cold slate gray rain that was swept along on an equally chilly wind that could easily have been at home in Alaska; it emptied darkened the skies and left the … 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
