Back to Work!!

So, we made it to the ship!!!! Unfortunately, our hotel in Lisbon didn’t provide internet so I was unable to email or update my blog. Other than a two-hour delay in Munich, Germany due to snowfall, everything went smoothly with our flights and luggage. We boarded the ship and have been working since with orientation, training, and rehearsal. We open our first show, Boogie Wonderland, on Day 6. That’s December 5th for those of you not on ship schedule!!! :D

I definitely need to get used to the ship movement again :/ Yesterday we had a meeting and I had to leave because I was feeling ill. BUT the door I tried to get out of was locked so I ran up the theater steps to run to the bathroom. Didn’t make it :( The clean up crew and medical must LOVE when I sign on. BLAH!!!! Yet another mark I’ve made on this ship. HA. Things should calm down once we make it to Brazil. Until then, I will be either dancing, eating, or SLEEPING!!!!

It’s been really fun to see everyone who was here that last time. Most of the crew are the same and a lot will be returning when we reach Brazil. They have been so nice, welcoming me back with hugs and jokes :D It’s like returning to a family….sort of. HA. I have my secret santa’s gift to start thinking about, since it’s already December! I have Michelle, our Girl 2. I’m excited to look around in Brazil and shop for her. :D

I’m told we won’t be doing a Christmas show because we don’t have enough time to put it together after install is done. But who knows, that could change….
It seems like this contract will go very fast!!! With all the holidays to look forward to, and signing on a month later than last contract, six months will fly by.

That’s about all to report for now, mostly just getting back into the swing of things and adjusting. I hope everyone is well, miss you all!!!!
