I'm back!!

After 2 weeks back on board the Jewel, it seems that I never left. I am back in the swing of things and having a great time. Basically the same people are here that were here when I left, although I have made a few new friends along the way. The weather has been a bit sub-par by Caribbean standards, however it has not snowed, so that’s cool.

I did find out that I do have a family & friends discount rate, so if you want to come on board my ship in the next month and a half, you should! I think JWade and Peto may come toward the end of March…should be a blast.

My brother is still studying in England and from what I’ve heard, he is having the time of his life, going to Club Fudge and studying hard!! I can’t wait to join him in May. My niece is now almost 3 months old, is as adorable as ever, and I miss her and my sister a lot.

As I’m sure I’ve informed you of, my sports intake is quite limited on the ship, however, I was able to take in the Superbowl, the NBA All-Star game, and will get to see a great deal of the NCAA tourney. I have not seen even one Olympic event unfortunately, however I hear the U.S. is dominating!! In the world of baseball, I did get the news that my boy T.L. signed a two year deal with the Giants, making me even more excited for the upcoming season!

Other then these tidbits, I’ve got nothing much to share. Until next time my friends

Sweet and Sour

Hey there everybody. Well, i'm still in Chico until this Saturday. At that point I will leave for my 3rd contract with Norwegian Cruise Line. The little bit of bad news I have is that a couple weeks ago the powers that be changed my assignment from The Jade which travels from Barcelona around the Mediterranean, to The Jewel which is the ship I just came from. On the bright side, I know the ship, its ports, and many of the people on board, and it will be fun to see them all again. On the other hand, visiting 8 different countries over then next few months had me very excited. Instead i'll have to choke down another two months of Miami and the Caribbean, and what is sure to be nearly perfect weather. ;-) This Sunday, around Superbowl kick-off, I should be in the Miami harbor, about the sail toward Honduras. Wish me luck!

However, as many of you know, my little brother is studying in Hatfield, England this semester, and will be there until the end of June. Partially because of my changed assignment, I decided that going to visit Tim in Europe would be an intriguing idea. So, I will finish with the Caribbean on April 11th and will be back in California until May 23rd, at which point I will be flying to join Tim for a month or so of European Emmons Adventures!!

It been great being in Chico, Southern California, and The Bay Area, visiting friends and family, and meeting my beautiful new niece! Thank you for keeping me in your prayers, and i'll continue to be adventurous for all of you, and keep you updated with pictures and bloggettes!
