Too busy to blog....having too much fun!

The repo was really cool - it was awesome to have the run of the ship in our street clothes, with no curfews.  About half a dozen of us spent one night singing karaoke in a lounge for about 4 hours...long enough to get bored of the normal stuff and start doing Christmas songs.  There was a big party out on deck one night, and the whole pool deck was absolutely packed with crew.  It was a really neat sight to see.  The party was hosted by my department (entertainment), and so I ended up helping out by playing bartender for about 20 minutes.  The definition of bartender being: grabbing beers and sodas out of trash can ice buckets as fast as humanly possible and handing them to a never-ending line of crew.  It was actually really fun.  We also had a "Majesty Idol" competition among the crew members, with a panel of three judges and everything, (my boss Andy representing Simon Cowell if you know the show).  

After the repo, Holly arrived safe and sound in Baltimore and joined me on the ship!  Since she got here its been a pretty busy week of maximizing our time together, mostly spending as much time on the beach as we could.  We checked out Horseshoe Bay, one of the most popular beaches, and were blown away by how gorgeous it is.  Tons of photos will follow....eventually. :-)  There really isn't much opportunity to use the internet in Bermuda.  Holly has been having a great time and has enjoyed getting to know the cast and my other friends, sitting in on some of the cast rehearsals and coming to both shows every night they'd perform.  

Today we are in Baltimore again, downtown seeing the sights a bit, and then it will be off to Bermuda again! I am so glad that Holly gets to stay an extra week.  This week will be the last week for this cast (new cast signs on and begins the handover today), as well as the last week for my roommate and several other friends of mine.  I can't believe this contract is almost over already!  I sign off just two short weeks from today.  Wow.
