Another Week

And we're back in NYC. The free interenet connections are few and far between, but I'm trying to get caught up from the beautiful Bryant Park near the library on 42nd and 5th.




Our week was great. Both shows went over really well, and for a couple of days there, we were celebrities. Then a whole new group comes aboard and our work is cut out for us again. But I have a lot of fun with the cast. Can't complain.


I was lazy and stayed onboard on Martha's Vineyard day. So here's a shot from the deck. I will definitely go ashore next Friday.




A shot of my winter home, the NCL Spirit.



Last night I endured the strangest of the ship life components: the booze cruise. They take the ship out into international waters overnight for duty free shopping and gambling and then bring it back the next morning. This clearly generates a ton of revenue for the ship. The bars and casino are packed the whole night. The downside is that it's a good night for people like me to stay in the cabin and watch movies (Live Free or Die Hard is AWESOME) and generally avoid the craziness. This morning's breakfast was hard enough to deal with between the people loudly announcing their hangovers and the ones becoming violent over the whereabouts of skim milk on the buffet. So yeah, I won't miss this part when we reposition to the south.



But I will miss NYC. Badly. Who won't miss NYC? My blood sugar.

Shipping back out....

This is the 3rd time I've tried to submit a comment. This one will not be nearly as clever as the first 2 nor will it be as long. So, since when are you drawn to cupcakes? And, let's have more pics of NYC and see you at some shows like the weekend Today show or David Letterman. Let us know if you plan to do that so we can watch from our end. ttyl
