End of Cruise #2
Two down and ??? to go. We just finished our second 10 day cruise and feel much more comfortable with the job. We got through the reporting for cruise #1 and found the G drive for posting. I am learning my way around the ship, although there are corners I have not visited still. I made use of the library in the Explorations Lounge and finished a book by Philip Roth, Exit Ghost. I made sure this trip that I got a couple of hours in the sun with the book, pretending I was a passenger in a far corner. This is the hardest part for me, getting some time alone.
I miss my solitude and my girlfriends. The crew is great and very friendly but much younger. I think it is wonderful that they are taking advantage of working on ships, something my own son did for a short while. I have always encouraged my boys and their friends to see the world. My own tag line is “See the World Before You Leave It” and I am doing my best to take my own advice. But I miss the companionship of friends my own age. I think this becomes more valuable the older we get. Here is a shout out to all the girls back home.
I will be posting to the other blog for the next two weeks while I am in Africa.
Come visit me there! Ciao.
