Sorry It's been so long. It's hard to get on to the internet sometimes. We're back in Valdez. We had planned to go Kayaking today, BUT because yesterday was so rough at sea we had to potpone the show from last night to tonight. AND When we were awoken by the announcement this morning we learned that it was 7 degrees and raining! So we called off our plans (which is really crappy especially because it's Kalie's birthday today and that was going to be our celebration!) So the weather has been interrupting with our plans a bit!
Last Glacier Bay day (7th Sept) there was a special staff discount night in the Lotus Spa, so I got a facial and had an Iothermie treatment done. It was great! Andrew got his hair cut and most of the other performers either got massages or facials too! I love staff special days!
So my big exciting news (for me anyway) is that Andrew bought me a gorgeous, wonderful ring which we will be picking up this Sunday in Juneau. It's a blue diamond! Will post photos of it later on. :)
Anyway, our Alaska stint is almost over. We head off for Honolulu next friday. WE HAVE 5 SEA DAYS!!!!! That means almost definitely a sea sickness invasion. They are not fun! Yesterday was ALMOST as bad as that 1st one I wrote of previously and we have more forcast for later in the week. Being a small ship, the Tahitian tends to feel the big, stormy, windy days pretty bad. But they are minimal really. We're loving this experience so far and looking into more work like this in the future.
...Speaking of this kind of work in the future, our work on our little ship has secured us great possibilities for other SMALL ships in the future, but if we would like to look into the larger ships we need to impress a different crowd... this crowd just happens to be joining our cruise in Juneau where they will be watching a full run of 1 of our shows, which one we don't know yet. So we basically have an audition this Sunday. Wish us luck. :)
That's probably enough for now. Miss you all terribly. Feel a bit like we're in a time vortex where time doesn't really exist! I almost feel like when we come home time will have been standing still and everyone will be at the exact same place as they were the day we left...if only...
Hope everyone's well and experiencing great things.
Love
Soph and Andrew
