Sailing...Sailing Away! Wo Wo Wo Wo!

Hello, All! I hope that is finds everyone doing quite well:) Currently, I am sitting in Arrruba where I can get free internet at a small cafe on a pier:) This is my 4th cruise, I think, with the Zuiderdam and it's the first week that it has not been sunny EVERYDAY:( It's a bit overcast now, but I definitely cannot complain because I am still in ARRRUBBBA!!!

Oh, some of you asked about my itenerary. I am on a 10 day cruise that leaves from Ft. Lauderdale until April 18 and then we go on a 21 day repositioning cruise through the Panama Canal where I will leave the ship on May 6th in LA.

So here are my current points of call:
Orenjestad, Aruba
Willemstad, Curacao
Cristobal, Panama
Puerto Limon, Costa Rica

I am so glad to be in a different part of the caribbean...I know some of you may hate to hear me say it, but I was TRULY tired of Nassau! LOL!


So I got a few pictures, over the past couple of weeks, of my travels so far. Let's go in order:)



That is my ship the Zuiderdam. It was the very first day I got on the boat (February 17)...which was pretty hectic. I should have taken a picture of all the stuff I had with me. It was absolutely hilarious! Unlike with Royal Caribbean, there were no stagehands to help me take my luggage on board. If only I had known that BEFORE I packed;) Also, this is the FIRST time I am out to sea and don't have my parents to mail things back and forth to:( Sadness:( Truth be told I always had 4 suitcases worth of stuff on board, I just never had it all there at one time since I mailed everything back to my parents all the time...COME BACK TO AMERICA MOM AND DAD!


This beautiful lady was one of the first people I met on the ship. She was one of the guest that came to EVERY SINGLE performance I had. She and her husband (who I unfortunately do not have a picture of) were celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary!!!! They were absolute dolls!














Next up, yes, there are young people that sail on 10 day cruises;) I found them:)















ARRRUBAA!!! I still can't NOT pose without posing Disney!
















And the final pic is Curacoa. It's a beautiful island.




Well...that's all folks:) Until next time:)

Out to Sea

HI, Everyone! I promise the next letter I will add pictures of my travels. My 'puter is almost dead, but I wanted to try and get something out before the end of my 3rd cruise aboard the Zuiderdam. I am currently sailing with Holland America as a singer for the HAL Cats. I am the lead singer for this INCREDIBLE band...and the ONLY singer;) I have my own cabin and I get to eat guest food ALL THE TIME...which means I ACTUALLY have to work out now;) LOL! I miss you all. Please do keep in touch and I will have more to write about this amazing experience next time.

Until then...
