Hey World!
(snorkelling in Chileno Bay, CSL with Danielle--this photo is the sole reason
I bought the CD from the photog on board the boat)
(candid!)
This contract has been completely different in so many ways. First of all, more stress since there are so many new members to our team. With so many of our oldies sent off to help with the new Fantasy ship, I was grouped as one of the most experienced staff member. No pressure. Suddenly I was the one being in charge of these things called 'transitions' aka, bringing over 100 kids down one deck of stairs hoping that none of them run away down the hallway putting my head on a chopping block. With it came new responsibilities but I saw them as opportunities to learn new things (like using Adobe software to put together the Friendship Rocks slideshow that we show the guests at the end of every cruise). However, I feel like I've made friends more quickly this time around and it feels like everyone is more on the same page. Overall, this contract has been pretty stretching for me--in a good way. At home I'd shy away and let someone else take care of things, but here I've been forced into it and I've found that it's not so bad after all.
This is our last week in Mexico. I'm excited to say goodbye to the tender boat process. On Sunday we kick off our 15-day trip to Hawaii and then it is up to San Fran, Vancouver, Alaska and Seattle. I'm so excited for what the next few weeks have in store.
(best day of my life! sailor characters with Ivonne, Scott and Becky!)
Despite everything going on, I love and miss you all terribly!
I vote everyone I know comes and takes over the Wonder for a week.
It would be the best ever.
PS. Just wanted to inform you all that this week has kicked off my obsession with Zachary Levi. aka Flynn Rider. Tangled on repeat on my crew TV doesn't hurt.
Love.
