I'm Baaaaaaaaaack!

After a long hiatus I have decided to resume posting the thoughts on cruising from my wandering mind. I have been on two cruises since the last post. One cruise was on Carnival Liberty in September. I booked it to celebrate my retirement. I was going to keep working my full time job for a while and my part time job was in "on call" status but officially I am retired.......sort of! Three weeks later my phone rings. It was the travel agent that booked my cruise. She was calling me to offer me a job in her travel agency. After determining that my only commute would be from my bed to my kitchen to get coffee and then to my desk, I accepted. So for the last year I have been working on cruise sales and loving it. So here I am "retired" so how come I now have 3 jobs? Huh? Eventually I shed the full time job. I am still at the"on call" job and I enjoy that job. The cruising job is fun and since I love to cruise and my earnings will pay for that addiction. Good deal! The Liberty cruise was fun. I was booked with a friend who was a "no show" so I had a room to myself. I found lots to do on that cruise and had a wonderful time. I did not let the fact that I was alone stop me. I was everywhere on that ship and doing lots of fun things.
For November I was booked on the Sensation. My best friend since high school came from Texas to cruise with me. It was a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas. What fun we had. I hope she chooses to cruise again. The time has come when I must go and get a bit of rest. Soon I will be back to give my thoughts on living a fun life for a person alone. Sleep tight cruisers...let the gentle rocking of the ship of life take you off to dreamland.
