I had never tried snorkeling before I started working on cruise ships. The muddy lakes and pristine swimming pools of Northwest Pennsylvania are not the best environments for underwater exploration, so I really never had the need. I snorkeled for the first time in December of 2009 and I was […]
I’m working on my Spanish. I’ve realized that this is the perfect time to dust off all of the Spanish I learned in high school but pushed to the corners of my brain as soon as my three year college requirement was fulfilled. I always think I’m getting better at […]

The sights. The sounds. The cultures. The foods. The beaches. The experiences. The glitz. The glam. Of a professional traveler. I feel like that is how most people see my life. I know that I have it good. I could have a much worse job and a much worse life. […]
I can’t believe that I’ve been here for nearly a month. It has gone so fast! I will say the quality of life this time around has been much better now that I’ve stepped down from being a manager. Life isn’t all about dollars and climbing the corporate ladder. Well, […]
Going to a new ship can be a bit scary for a woman on her own. On my old ship enough people had my back that I was always off limits and safe. But coming to a new ship has had its share of interesting pickup attempts. I was filming […]
Well, I’m back to work. After a great 10 weeks at home, I’ve now been back at sea for over a week now. I switched ships for this contract. I knew that things would be a little different this time. This ship is smaller and things are laid out differently […]

Every so often I write a serious post. It’s not really something I enjoying doing, but something I find necessary. As much as I love humor and having a good time, I know that real life is tinged with sadness at times. I had a very sad time in my […]
I think I remember how….just push these little black keys with tiny white letters on them in secret combinations and…there it is! I’m doing it! Whew! Yes, friends, I still have the knowledge I just lost most of the time and motivation there for awhile. I know why I lost […]
Friends- My apologies for not posting in 2 months, but life has been crazy. For those of you who don’t know, I have been promoted to Head Broadcast Technician and I now run my little tiny department. It has been extremely challenging and time consuming. It has certainly had it’s […]
I only have one more trip to Bermuda left. That’s hard to believe. Aside from the two months I was home, I have spent every other week either in Bermuda or traveling to/from Bermuda. Now I have one more cruise there and I may never see it again, who knows. […]
