Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!!

2009 has not been a very good year for me and so many others. As we ring in 2010, I am optimistic for greener pastures in the future! I wish everyone Health, Hope and Prosperity for the new year, and new decade!

Nor'easter

Well, our weather in South Florida has finally cooled down. I hope it lasts a while. The Northeast is sure taking a pounding, and the airports are in chaos. I feel sorry for all of those who can't get home from their vacation, and the many people that will miss their ship's departure due to canceled flights. A big reason you should ALWAYS purchase travel insurance when cruising. The weather can play a cruel trick, especially on an overpriced Christmas Cruise.

A job on the horizon?

After months of searching, I finally have a job interview on Monday with a cruise line! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get this one, because I could sure use a paycheck! I'll keep you posted!

Snow in Houston?

Wow! It's snowing in Houston! Check out some of the pictures on www.KHOU.com. I lived in Houston for a few years back in the '80's. There is even a lot of snow along the coast, which I find surprising, since the temperature should be a few degrees warmer there. The city took a lot of preventive measures by spraying deicer along the highways yesterday. Hopefully the roads will be clear for all of the cruise passengers embarking and disembarking over the weekend. If not, the trip from the airport to Galveston or the ship channel could turn into an all day affair!
