ALLOOOHAAA!
I'm finally getting on here! Sorry it's been so long, gettin internet on the ship wasn't that easy! But i finally got an internet wifi thing from verizon, so I will be able to get on a lot more now!
Sooo some things that have happened since I last wrote ... I went whale watching for starters. That was amazing! It is breeding season for the whales right now so we went to Lahaina on Maui. A bunch of whaies congregate there for some reason so that's one of the best places for whaie watching. And we got soo lucky, we saw a baby whale and it's mother and watched the baby jump out of the water at least 40 times! It was soo awesome =]
Also in Maui, we woke up at 2am to drive up to mount Haleakala to watch the sunrise! It was soo beautiful, but made me miss Lakeside! It was also freezing up there because it was such a high altitude! Our car thermometers were reading at 40 degrees, but the with wind chill it felt much colder, so we saw the sunrise and immediately left =] and went to the beach, of course.
Those are the only really touristy things that we've done so far. And this thursday we are renting a car on Kauai and exploring the Napoli coast, there are apparently some waterfalls and cliffs to jump off of, but we'll see if I do that or not ... I'm guessing I'll chicken out, but I'll at least try... I'll get those pics up ASAP!
Also, I have yet another new roommate! My previous roommate got a promotion, she will be a working manager on a cruise ship that will start in Barbados, and will eventually basically go all around the world! We are all so happy for her, but are missing the crap out of her! My new roommate is awesome, we are also getting along really well so that is a huge relief =]
Other than that, I can't really think of anything else too crazy that's been happening. I think i'm pretty much used to ship life by now. It's not really that great, but it isn't terrible either. We can pretty much get off the ship almost every day so that is really nice. Usually we will get off either in the morning before work for breakfast or to run, or we get off in the evening after work and have dinner.
Anyway things at work are going great, and I'm meeting tons of new people! Overall this has been a great experience so far and I'm LOVING it!
Hope you aren't freeezing in the snow! hehehe! =]

Cindy Cornelius Hi Alicia!! Just checking your website for news. It sounds wonderful! Cindy
Kathy Radabaugh Hey Little One! Loved the update and looking forward to hearing about the waterfalls. I LOVE waterfalls. Saw several HUGE ones in Yellowstone Nat'l Park and still dream about the sounds they made. Looks like we survived another winter--not bad at all in fact it has flown by but I had a wedding in Chicago in Jan and then my sister, Carol, got married in Feb so it has helped to speed up winter. Scheduled to get another blast of snow tonight up to 6" !!!! But that's OK, it will melt quickly and I've already seen little buds on our maple trees so I know warm weather is near! Thanks for the update! Take Care--Miss You Kathy
