Almost time...

Well everyone, it is almost time...

It has been quite the crazy week. Trying to finish all my school work while packing and cleaning the apartment and packing for 4 months (2 of which will be in 30 degree weather and the other 2 in typical FL/Bahamas hotness.) Oh yeah, and trying to spend time with friends. My head is spinning! I fly home tomorrow for a little visit with the family before coming back Friday.

Sunday is the big day. I finally received my travel itinerary and contract :) I depart Orlando Sunday night at 9:30ish pm and get to Frankfurt, Germany 9 hours later. Then I get to take an hr long fight to Bremen, Germany where hopefully I will meet up with someone holding a sign saying DCL haha. If not, I might be in Bremen airport in a while trying to figure out how to get to my next destination. My final stop is Papenburg, Germany where the ship is being built. I arrive in Papenburg 11/1 and spend 2 nights in a hotel. There is not much in Papenburg and probably only 1 1/2 hotels, so I am sure there will be plenty to talk about my first couple days :) I will have traditions on 11/2 and report to my first day on the ship (I think) on 11/3. Everything for me is kind of unknown right now, everything is crazy for DCL so I will know more when I get there.

It's very bitter sweet right now. So excited to get going on this "Dream" Adventure but I will miss you all!

Well, I will see you all in 4 months, but keep reading and I'll keep you posted! :)

Love ya and see ya real soon!

My New Adventure

The first thing that comes to my mind when beginning to write this is, why? I actually have no idea. I am not a fan of blogs, and quite frankly, I think that most people just do them to get attention or just to have another way of hearing themselves talk. :) Now even though I do like attention, quite a bit, I hate my writing style, and think I look stupid on video... So again, I do not know why I am doing this, or how long it will last, but it is worth a shot! Right?!

So as you may or may not know, I am beginning a new adventure with the Disney Cruise Line. Communication will be limited, especially for those of you whom I will not mind being away from for 4 months at a time. Only kidding! But really, I will be working 70+ hours a week, and will have limited access to Internet and phone. I figured it might be easier to reach the masses with one of these things. I had some requests to put up pictures and videos and such from my little adventure, mainly because I think people want to see the ship before anyone else, but I'll keep telling myself it is because they want to see how I am doing :)

I thank you in advance for reading this, and let me know if there is anything in particular that you would like to hear about, or see. Obviously I am looking to keep this job, well at least not get fired from it right away, so just understand that there are certain things that I might not be able to disclose because of top secret Mickey Magic :) I promise to keep it as entertaining and interesting as possible!

See ya real soon!
