Land Ho…at last – Petrapavlovsk, Russia – [10/05/2011]

Silver Glimmer and Black Confetti – Bering Sea/Trans-Pacific Crossing Day 5 – [10/03/2011]
As I’ve said before, Balls are a job of work… Decorating for the Balls has always been an interesting experience. It’s one of the few times that the entertainment staff sees each other ‘out of context’, because we troupe to … Continue reading

Organized Chaos – Seattle – [09/26/2011]
And then there’s embark day. If debark day is a flurry of activity followed by a strange kind of sadness, embark day is just a flurry of insanity. Up and in the hotel lobby by 6:45am, on the transfer bus … Continue reading

Pretty In Pink – Susan G. Komen – (Transatlantic 04/22/2011)
