Good to know I know this was amillion years ago (or 3), but thank you for this entry. I am really thinking about working on a cruise and so this is helpful to see what everyday life is like. I heards its really tough, so Im a little scared to actually take the plunge and do it. Anyways, thanks for your blog!

Click your heels three times You are more than welcome. I wrote my blog, for my family and friends and anyone else who came across it to get a little further insight on what was adventure was like. I am glad that you took something from it. I honeslty think I am a horrible writer, I dont follow style or care about punctuation etc.. I just write whats in my heads and it comes out of my fingers to the keys and VOILA. I can definately empathize about coming home, although our adventures have been very different the feeling is generally the same I bet. Safe travels home, and no worries about me being friends with netter, she is a fantastic girl :P
From Jeanette´s Crazy Friend Sarah I saw a bunch of these photos of you guys in the costume room from Netter´s facebook. Looks like you had a wonderfully silly time. Feel good to be back in Canada? I miss Canada. Looking forward to being home myself. I too, am heading to a wedding the week I get back. Seems like a nice way to see everyone in one place. One big party. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Interesting to read them. Nice to get another perspective of Netter´s life on board. You´ve really been a great friend to her.
GOLD!!! Hey there Cindy, be sure to tell Lindsay that I am VERY PROUD. I cant wait to come home and show all of you pictures and share stories of my adventures.
Thank you Good Evening Pat,
Thank you very much for your kind words. I never thought that so many people could possibly come across my blog. I am glad that it made you smile.
What a trip ! Can't wait for you to come home we all missed ya! even the girls. Make sure you stop over I would love to hear and see all your pictures. I have stories of my own to fill you in on...Hey Lindsay's hockey team won GOLD in the all Ontario Provincials...
Cindy
So I was just browsing other Honduras blogs and came across a familiar face I have seen in many of Jeanette's Photos. I'm a good friend of hers from camp... am currently teaching in Honduras. Glad I came across your blog. Another perspective on Netter's life on the ship!

The Nina Hey there Kim,
Thanks for the message that was nice of you. The resort was definately a ghost town. Which was amazing. I needed a day of stress freel, sun tanning and good conversation. And whats more inspiring than the backdrop of St. Kitts. I too love St. Kitts, It has a Wasage Beach fell, minus the clear blue water. I can see Blue Mountain right now :P I cant wait to come home and share all of my stories and pictures with you all. All the best, take care.
WOW! I always love reading of your travels, but damn you and your nice tan...we both know how well I tan! Got your RSVP, so excited you can make it to see me become an old married broad! Love you!
Crossing the ocean in that ship! Hey Brooks
That hotel in St. Kitts is exactly where Jeff and I stayed when we were there in November. I never thought to get INTO the boat! What a great picture. Amazing that it is actually a half size replica of the original. I couldn't imagine coming across the ocean in something so small!
Was the resort busy? It was like a ghost town when we were there. For such a beautiful place, it still seems somewhat undiscovered. Amazing little island isn't it?
Looking forward to seeing you when you get back to Canada.
Kim
ps. You look amazing! Nice tan
Soon enough. Hey there Tracy,
Thanks for the message, it is always nice to hear from home. I miss home too - even if it is snowing. Having my friends here last week just reminds me what I am missing at home. However I wouldnt give up this experience. I am pushing through day to day and will be home in 2 months. Soon enough. May 6 ish.
CAN'T WAIT WELL BROOKIE WHAT CAN I SAY YOU HAVE HAD A GREAT ADVENTURE AND AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFE TIME AND WE ARE ALL GLAD THAT YOU WERE GIVEN THIS CHANCE, THE KIDS ARE SOOOOO EXCITED TO SEE YOU AND KEEP ASKING WHEN YOU WILL BE HOME. I AM GLAD THAT YOU ARE SAFE AND THAT THINGS ARE WELL THE PICTURES ARE GREAT AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE TAKE CARE AND WILL SEE YOU SOON
Its coming... Hey there Mom,
Dont worry, I signed myself up for the next CPR/AED and Water rescue course that they had available. I don't want to be in the position again so better prepare now, right? :P
HEY HEY BROOKS,
EVERYONE IS DOING GREAT AND I AM SOOO GLAD THAT YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME. IT IS REALLY COLD HERE ESPECIALLY THIS PAST WEEK WE HAVE HAD WINDCHILLS AT -30C AND OF COURSE THAT LOVELY WHITE SHIT YES SNOW. HERE I THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY AT ALL THIS YEAR. THE KIDS THIS CHRISTMAS GOT AN A.T.V AND WERE ACTUALLY RIDING IT CHRISTMAS DAY SINCE WE DID NOT HAVE ANY SNOW. WE WERE ALSO OUT ON THE SLEDS THIS PAST WEEKEND AND THE KIDS LOVED IT. THEY SURE MISS YA AND ASK ALL THE TIME HOW YOU ARE AND WHEN YOU ARE COMING HOME. WELL ALL IS WELL AND DID YOU KNOW THAT HOLLY CAME BACK HOME. YOUR MOM IS HAPPY ABOUT THAT. OH THANKS FOR THE POST CARD I CAME FEB 9 AND I AM SOO GLAD THAT YOU ARE NOT RUBBING IT IN OUR FACE TOO MUCH AT THE FACT YOU ARE HAVING AN AWFUL TIME LOL
TAKE CARE BROOKIE POOH AND ENJOY YOURSELF THAT IS WHAT IS ALL ABOUT
LOVE YA
