Update



Greetings from the Middle of the Ocean!

Well we are almost finished our crossing. Tomorrow we arrive in Southampton, England. I absolutely can't wait to get off the ship. We did have a break in the sea days, we made it into Ponta Delgada, Portugal. I didn't have any time off, however I did weazel my way into escorting passengers back onto the transit buses to the ship and got to work outside. It was fabulous. We also ran into the town quickly before we had to re-embark and got whistled at in ten million different ways (of course I don't know what they were saying as it was in Portuguese.

We only had one majorly ruff day at sea. It was insane, everything had to be bolted down and all our liquor bottles fell onto the floor of the cabin, thank God for carpet!!!! The ship was rolling from side to side and all you could see is horizon...ocean...horizon...ocean. It was almost scary.

Above is an example of what we have been doing with our Sea days...here we were celebrating ANZAC Day! It is a national holiday for Australia and New Zealand. Its like our Remembrance Day except they celebrate instead of mourn.

Alright, I guess the next pics I send should be something from Europe! I am going to Rome on the 13th so I will send some pics of that.

Love you all.
