We're on our way to Mexico yet again. I'm at the point where the cruise itinerary cycle has become normal. Strange, to think that constant movement is the new normal. Right now we are having some rough seas. I can hear the waves crashing against the bulkhead wall, the sounds of Cadillacs colliding. I've gotten to the point where I sleep through just about everything.
A few other things that I have gotten used to:
- Poor internet connection (though I doubt I'll ever get used to that).
- Many different languages spoken at once - in the spa alone, I hear Talag, Afrikaan, Dutch, Serbian, and Zulu spoken. I'm definiately the odd man out speaking only one language.
- Limited space isn't as bad as I thought it would be, I've found a few places to hide, which makes me happy.
- Being surrounded by beautiful women - now this is an adjustment that I'm glad to make.
- Making new friends of sorts. I'm not one to hang out with friends from work, but considering the nature of ship life, I find myself doing just that. Everyone in spa is quite nice, so it makes the whole process easy.
Aside from some adjustments that need to be made by either myself or to my surroundings, everything has gone quite smoothly. Its my hope to tell stories about ship life and the backgrounds of my co-workers which are all fascinating. I will wait for their permission before doing so, however.

Seems like your new life isn't quite so bad. And you're missing out on a dreary bout of Oregon weather. I'll be sure to check back.
