Traveling to the Jewel

So I am finally off to the Jewel of the Seas for my next contract.
My trip was interesting. My flight from Oakland was delayed due to a fuel spill under the plane, so the didn't want to load us because they couldn't turn on the AC. I was watching my watch in fear. My flight was sppolsed to land at 6:10 and the second flight board at the same time. Yuck. When we landed I ran for the train, and just as I was coming down the escalator to the new terminal on the other side of the airport, they called my name, they heard me say "I'm coming". But turns out I wasn't last, but nearly. I knew that if I barely made it that my luggage wouldn't have. Sure enough my name was called at Gatwich that my bags didn't arrive. They were very good about it all, they said it would come in on the 8am flight the next morning. Off to the hotel I went, after waiting forever for the shuttle, because I missed the one by 5 minutes so I had to wait almost 2 hours for the next one, but at least it was scheduled. No problems at the hotel except no AC. Food was alright. The next morning the airport called, they had my bags, and they made arrangement with our port agent to bring them to the ship with the passengers they were picking up. So all is good. Now where in the world are my tools.

I am settling in good on the new ship. My predecessor isn't here the entire cruise, he has to leave because of a wedding, but it is a long cruise so we still have over a week together. We have already fixed a few things, and gotten frustrated at some others. So is life, new ship, old ship, everything brakes at some point.

Anyway if you want to see where I am in the world, just go to www.cruisecal.com it is a great new site that I was told about that shows where all the cruise ship are on a given day for every cruise line.

I havn't tested if I can upload pictures yet on this ship or not, if I can you will see some shortly.
