I took this job in the Caribbean to get out of 25℉ weather, but two weeks ago I voluntarily put myself back in it when I visited Magic Ice in St. Thomas. Magic Ice is an ice gallery and bar: ice walls, ice artwork, ice gazebo, ice slide, a literal bar […]
What was the first? If you don’t remember joster (aka boat jousting) you can catch up here. This one was seemingly tame. How crazy is a horse race? Well when said horse race is Palio di Siena, pretty crazy. I had heard of Siena before- I can’t tell you why […]
I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve written. I know, I say that far to often. I really do need to write more. Life has a funny way of getting in the way of my life. Wait, what? Just when I think I have it figured out or […]
I arrived in the French Riviera on the largest and most expensive yacht in town. Too bad I don’t own this ship. I could stay here all the time- or all of you could come party on it with me. For now I must settle for working on it and […]
Saturday- Parc Guell, Barcelona, Spain There is so much to see and do in Barcelona yet I some how get trapped into doing the same thing week after week- lunch and internet. I finally decided that I need to start seeing some of the places I’ve been looking forward too- […]
The last thing most people want to do after an All Crew Party is get up early to go out in the sun. I love my sleep and since I was working at the party until around 2 am, the thought of being on a 9:30 am ferry was not […]
6:59 am? Didn’t I set an alarm for super early today? I think for like 6:15 am or something like that. Why? Where do I have to be? What is happening today? Oh yeah, I’m on a tour to Pompeii. I need to meet my group at 7:00 am. Oh […]
I am so behind on my writing. I will try to do better- I promise. I’ve actually started keeping a journal. It’s the first I’ve kept one in my five years of travel- better late than never I guess. But I will continue to refer back to it as I […]
I visited the two smallest countries in the world a couple weeks ago. I’m always excited when I get to add to my country count which I think lies somewhere in the 30s. I actually find that quite disappointing. I’ve been traveling full-time for 5 years and I’ve not […]
Who do you think makes it to the top first? Villefranche is a small town nestled between Nice and Monaco in the French Riviera. Prior to working on cruise ships I had never heard of this town, but a few years ago a very good friend of mine showed me […]
I wasn’t going to go. I had slept in. It was after 11 before I even got off the ship and I still had the tender ride to Cannes ahead of me. Plus it was our last day in Cannes and I never got my picture on the red carpet- […]
The 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival is wrapping this weekend. I was privileged to be in Cannes, France on two separate occasions during the Film Fest. Prior to the Festival, I had taken a short tour around Cannes and learned about the famous hotels on the Croisette- who stays where, […]
