More Time @ Sea??

Hello Family and Friends,

So in the ever eventful life that I lead, there is more news.

I have been promoted to Assistant Purser and will be the Pratica (or administrations officer) onboard. This means I take care of all Immigration, Ship Clearance, ARrival and Departure paperwork, counting all pax onboard, getting into port etc. Yup heavy stuff. In doing this I receive more money, my own cabin, and the fact that if I take any time off from Princess now...I will always come back as Assistant Purser, never as a Junior Assistant Purser again! So it kind of makes all the work i've done over the last 2 years worthwhile now as my position is secured.

This does mean I have been extended, nothing heavy, just by 2 months and therefore am going home on May 12. I will finish out the Caribbean season on the Sea Princess, do the crossing to Southampton and 1 Med cruise and then I go home. Then its STRAIGHT to go and see my little nephew (who at that point will be so big and i'm pretty sad about that).

Also....more opportunities have come from no where. I cannot tell to much at the moment but I will give a hint. It comes in the form of returning to a place where I worked before, enjoyed it and its fairly close to home???? It would only be for the summer??? Anyone got a hint yet?

I will fill you all in when things are concrete. So I hope to hear from you all, I know my Blog has not been updated to often so your not used to checking it BUT CHECK IT because news it flying in.
