Here we go...again

We are in Tampa today getting ready to board the Holland America Ryndam. We'll be onboard for 6 weeks doing two different 7 day itineraries to: Key West, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, & Cozumel then Key West, Roatan, Costa Maya & Belize! After getting a taste of life on land it's a little bitter sweet. I've gotten all too used to internet, cell phones, and actually choosing what's for dinner, but I'm excited for some beaches & homemade guacamole in Cozumel!

Happiest Place on Earth!

I've never been so excited to go to "work". Right now we are at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort for a company conference. We are here for 9 days and since the training is only 5 days there has been plenty of time for sun, swimsuits, and even a little Mickey! That red cup has entitled me to unlimited free fountain Diet Coke ALL week...yay:) Have you ever watched those Publisher Clearing House commercials and just wished they would come knocking on your door?? Well at Disneyland I guess dreams really do come true...we unexpectedly won a del sol competition and even though it had a couple less zeros, I can assure you being handed that enormous check is just as exciting as it looks.
Shopping Ambassadors taking over Disney World! For one of our activities we went to the Magic Kingdom with the entire group. It was sponsored by Del Sol and they provided t-shirts for everyone. Can you guess who was in our group?
Thunder Mountain!
Alina, Linda, Gail, Kim & Me. Some of the girls we work with that I never get to see because we are all on different ships.

Dry Suit

I just came across this photo while I was packing and I couldn't help but laugh…partly because at first I thought it was some Star Trek Halloween costume and then because of the story attached. A couple weeks ago Christian went on a dry suit snorkel. He was really excited about it. When we met up after the excursion his clothes were soaking wet. Turns out if your suit doesn’t zip properly it becomes a “wet” suit snorkel and in Alaska it makes for one very unpleasant dive. When Christian told the guide that his suit was leaking the guy told him to just try to keep his back out of the water.
