The END
17 Nov 08
Well everyone .. this will be the last post. I have decided to quit ships and stay at home. There were a lot of factors involved; my company wasn't playing fair with my next contract, I missed being home, etc
I am going to be staying at my Mom's on Long Island and I was able to get a job (quick no less!) in NYC at my old firm, just in a new office and new brokers. So that is a good thing
I know how much some of you have enjoyed my blog and I am sorry to let you down; I just dont think my "adventures of working in NYC" are going to be as exciting. :)

I'm Home!
1 Nov 08
Long Island, NY
YAY - I am home again .. the more I come home, the more I like being here. Sigh. I really think this next contract will be it for me. But I said that before too :) We'll just have to see!
A few nights before I left, the Wardie held its Halloween Party as well; it was also basically my leaving party too since it was going to be the last major get together before I left. It was a crazy night; Becks and I ended up in the bakery stealing food! LOL Here are the pics:
http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLanding.action?c=bf232dhz.37qqyfhf&x=0&y=-doyd55&localeid=en_US
I was hanging big time the next day .. oh well LOL I can dry out on leave. Oh, except for my brothers wedding next weekend! :) I cant wait for that; I am so excited!
Between now and then I need to clean up my room; its in a state! As well as put any clothes I am not going to need for the next contract away. Plus help Mom get the house in order for guests. Will probably need to help my brother do some last minute errands, but I dont mind at all.
I will check in again

The Last of Mexico .. for now
29 Oct 08
at sea; returning to San Francisco .. and I will be returning home!
Backing up - so I didnt go ashore in Zihuantanejo but that was ok .. I had a great day to myself. I sat up on deck, laying in the sun and reading. There was going to be a football game on MUTS and that was great! It was Giants vs Steelers and it turned out to be a good game. I sat in the low part of the pool (just a few inches deep) , sunning myself and watching the game. Cant say many of you did the same watching football last Sunday! :)
Andrea and I went to Paradise Beach in Acapulco - but of course, the sun wasnt really out. So we had some lunch and a few drinks and met up with Meg, Keenan and Brei while we were there. We had an early sail, so we couldnt stay all day anyway.
Monday night there was a Halloween Disco in the crew bar. Any of you who know me well, know I hate Halloween. So there was no way I was dressing up! I ended up wearing my bright orange tee and black pants .. I looked the part LOL But I felt down that night .. I am not sure why really. So I just said I was a "Plump Pumpkin" instead. I left before 1am and went to bed. Here are some pics I took of the disco:
http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLanding.action?c=bf232dhz.4rdeybir&x=0&y=fy7kqk&localeid=en_US
Yesterday and today are sea days .. as is tomorrow. I have been packing in between working and I will be finished tomorrow. Well I have to be as I need to turn in my luggage tomorrow night sometime supposedly (not sure how that works tho) Anyway, I will have a short handover to Emily on Friday morning and my flight is at 3pm on Friday afternoon, direct to JFK.
If there are no other events between now and when I leave .. this will be my last post from the Star. Of course I will post once I get home, as well as pics from my brothers wedding next weekend (the 8th). Then onto the Coral Princess on Nov 19th.

Seeing Cabo .. From the Ship
25 October 08
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Sigh. I didnt make it to Cabo *again* yesterday .. the tenders took a long time again and we didnt get crew shore leave till 12 noon. So we wouldnt have gotten to Cabo till about 12.30 and we had to be back in line for a tender for 1pm or so. SUCKS
Anyway .. se la vie I will just have to have a proper vacation there! (Suz - divorce party in Cabo?!?! LOL)
I ended up having a good day though anyway .. all the crew were still onboard, so a bunch of the girls went up on deck, got some burgers from the grill and watched MUTS (Movies Under The Stars (or Sun)) while we laid in the sun. We had a nice day swimming, lounging, etc and the weather was beautiful!!
Here are some pics of the view to Cabo .. as well as what MUTS actually is (so my Mom knows what I keep talking about LOL)
http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=bf232dhz.77b1azur&x=0&y=-b5arv&localeid=en_US
Today we were in Puerto Vallarta; the weather was not as nice as last week, but it was still warm of course! We went to a crew hangout; Kristal Hotel .. where they have a pool, beach, swim up bar (yeah we utilized that!) It was fun and we had a good day and even managed to get some sun as well. I dont have any pics other than with my underwater camera; I took the SD card out of my good camera to put the Cabo pics online, and I forgot to put it back.
Zihuantanejo is tomorrow - but I wont go ashore. All the crew has to do safety training (I dont) but why go alone? That's no fun and the locals will just bug the hell out of me more to buy their crap.. so I will just sit up on deck again and work on my tan :)
