Finally!!! I only have 4 more sleeps til I leave to come home!!!

I am in Charlottetown again today on Prince Edward Island. I have just skyped Chris and then Nathan, Ky and Mum which was very cool. I am thinking it’s time I got my suitcases out and started packing.

The last two cruises have gone well. We did Music and Motorcity for the last time last cruise as the new cast are doing both those shows this cruise in handover and we’re doing the other three shows. The new cast got onboard in New York and are a lovely bunch. The three girl dancers are all first timers. Tod the line captain has been around for a long while and the two singers have done a number of contracts too. Sofe, my replacement is really nice and bubbly and my size (mostly)… this is a good thing for costume guys.. they don’t have much to alter for hers then.

The seas have been rough this cruise. We had to reschedule our first show because of it. It was some of the roughest seas I’ve ever felt and the next night wasn’t much better, but thankfully it was more in the middle of the night so I slept through most of it.

Last cruise Stacey Sokil and I did a number of tours together which I’ve uploaded some photos of. We spent the day exploring Quebec; we went on the ‘Anne of Green Gables’ experience in Charlottetown. In Sydney we went out to the Louisburg Fort. In Boston, we did the Presidents tour to John Adams former residence and the JFK museum. In Halifax, Lorraine took us all out to lunch and in Portland a group of us met up for Gordon’s birthday lunch. In New London Dave and Nipples and I went to see the world’s first nuclear submarine the Nautilus.

This time in New York we had much better weather. Dave, Kyle and I got off and spent the day together visiting Time Square and then going up the Empire State Building. This cruise due to the weather we arrived late in Boston, so the tour Stacey and I were going to do together out to Salem was cancelled, so we shopped instead. Not a good idea with the dollar the way it is now. Most ports now I’m getting off just to internet. I need to start packing up my room and Dave and I are trying to get through 2 seasons of Heroes before we go.

I really just want to be home now. What a great contract though! This itinerary has been so amazing and I have been able to see some fantastic places.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone when I get home. My flight gets in on Friday morning (31st). 4 more sleeps.

Lots of love
