I tried to get up early this morning so I could go into San Diego. Woke up at 7:15, took shower, got dressed in jeans (so comfy), and got to the gangway at 8am. The security officer there asked me what kind of leave I am going on and I replied just a shore leave where I can get out and walk around, call family, and that stuff. He promptly informed me that we were not cleared yet to leave and it would be around 8:45 or 9…. but I could go to the top deck and use my phone there since it is one of the few spots we get good reception. Really?!? Now why would I want to stay ON the ship? Ha! Well since I would have to go to the deck to make call I have to be in uniform. So back to my room to change. There went my time on land in San Diego. Also I was hoping to meet up with a friend, but I think we need to make plans more than one day ahead.
A new group of guests today and one cruise in the record books. It seems like this will be a good group also, but we will see. Here’s something funny. I was in line to get a sandwich and a man was a few feet away waiting on his. He slowly moved closer to me and looked at my name tag. I had to laugh a little and say hi to him. This is what happens where there are no younger guys on the ship.. I get to flirt with the crazy older men. LMAO.

It was really rocky last night. I am on the top bunk and so I didn’t get much sleep. I kept waking up afraid I was about to roll off the bunk. Yikes. I wanted to get up early today and walk some laps around the ship. Well I woke up at 6am….felt the rocking of the ship…imagined myself walking and then falling overboard because the ship leaned. Once that image was in my head, I decided it might be better to sleep in a little bit longer and try to get up early when the ship isn’t rocking this bad.
Worked in the gallery and then set up for formal night. It was an interesting night with all the guests in high heel and trying to walk while the ship sways back and forth. I had half a dozen people almost run into me because of the sways. And I was standing still!

8:15am and I am putting up last nights portraits. My roomie and I decided to get up a little earlier to catch some breakfast. I have Dutch Apple pancake, French toast, a sausage link, all with lots of syrup. Now I usually eat fruit 2-3 times a day, but we were in a hurry and I didn’t have time for the cooks to make me some eggs. It was a yummy breakfast. Lunch was egg salad on croissant, mixed fruit, cheese and crackers (yea! I found some on here), and a little portion of some pasta. Dinner was nachos and pizza. Also had some guac… can’t get enough of that. Makes me feel more at home. Today was a slow day.. didn’t really do much but hang out in the gallery and try to pass the time. I made one of those fortune teller hand puppet things. I got a few laughs from everyone. I also realized I started to dance to the music that plays on the tv.. It is so sad.
