Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Wow this xmas was different. Normally really depressing as we have to work so much! This year was great. Xmas eve we went for dinner with our team, then had a few drinks and sung xmas carols with all the guests in the centrum (same place as the thanks giving day celebrations). We started a tradition this year as well. Normally xmas is such a build up then its over in a day. We decided this year that on xmas eve and boxing day we would open a present as well (make it a three day thing) It was nice as well, Claire got me some great things and it kept things going. Actual xmas day dinner was very disapointing though. Turkey was crap and there was no carrot and turnip, no roast potoatoes and no PRAWN COCKTAIL. The yanks have no idea! How can you have xmas with out Prawns in a spicy pink goo on a bed of lettice with a slice of lemon!! As always I miss my home cooked meals but what can you do.
Xmas day was spent down town in St Thomas Virgin Islands. Very hot! We phoned home and in the space of 30 mins standing on the phone i think I burnt to a crisp. We then went for a bit of lunch, which wasnt very christmasy but was very tasty.
So New years eve tonight and for all the luck we had with the cruise over xmas, we have none for New years eve. New years day is auction day. Which means I have a seminar in the morning and then an auciton in the afternoon. There is no way I can be anyway tired or hungover so we cant really go out and drink. If we do the money we earn will be affected and we cant afford that. So it sucks. But to be honest, New years celebrations have never been great for me on ships anyway so im not really too fused. I know Claire will be disapointed though.
Anyway we will make the best of it and the money we earn the better our holiday will be.
All the best for 2010 ..... only 6 weeks to go ;)
