The Last 2 1/2 Months = Win


After being a little bummed out from not assigned to a european ship, I quickly felt right back at home with my friends on the Jewel. I had a great two months, and even got to cruise as a passenger for the Re-Po. I had an absolute blast, saw some of the most breathtaking places in the world, experienced a ton of cool things, and even met a beautiful/fun/talented/hilarious girl along the way! Bonus! I got an amazing massage and played mini-golf in Cozumel, saw caves and dolphins in Aruba, drove a Jeep all over Curacao, and visited the gorgeous beaches of Tortola!! I'll put pictures up soon!

I am now on my way back to Chico through NYC and San Francisco. I plan to head down and see the niece, then get geared up to take Europe by storm with Tim toward the end of May! I almost am looking forward to being bored for a couple weeks so I can wind down before I jump the pond for some Bro-ventures!

I will miss the Jewel, but people back in Chico, i'll see you soon!!

Re-Po Time!


Well, this week is my last week working on the Norwegian Jewel. We just finished a week with 950 kids, J-Wade and Peto are coming on board, and it should be a really fun week. The last 2 months have been amazing, especially considering that I was a little bummed about my ship assignment at first. It will be nice to come home pretty soon, but I will miss everyone here dearly!

After being here for 4 of the last 5 months, I have visited the same 5 ports every week. That is why I tried...and succeeded in getting to cruise on the re-positioning cruise up to NYC. This cruise leaves Miami on the 11th of April and gets to NYC on the 24th. I will be visiting 4 new ports that i've never been too, seeing 3 new countries, and getting to relax as a "passenger". My friend Butters is doing the same thing so it should be a blast! Even better yet, i'm paying next to nothing to cruise!!

As for my trip with my bro, we having started the detailed planning and I'm really starting to get excited. If anyone has any ideas of places they really thing we should check out, please let us know!!

By the way, this is me eating fire!! Booyah!

Happy Easter to Everyone, and i'll see you all soon!!
