….And we’re off!!
Our repositioning has officially begun. We left La Paz, BCS at noon PST and have been underway ever since. We should be rounding the other side of the peninsula in the early hours of the morning into the Pacific Ocean. From what the Captain has seen of the weather reports so far, the weather should hold out until we get up to San Diego, but what we thought might happen looks to be the case. The long term weather is looking like it’s going to be a rough ride for us from San Diego up to Seattle. Let’s hope that weather forecasters are wrong as usual and we have a good trip. I sure hope that they aren’t right this time.
Great fully I got to spend some time on the phone this morning. I got to talk to Sonya quite a bit and Mia for a few minutes. I also called my best friend Tim to let him know that I was alive and well. We are going to plan a trip over the Rubicon Trail for when I get back home, I am way excited about it. Other than making those plans it was just a good round of phone calls all around, everyone is holding up well. Mia is cute as usual and missing her daddy. I ordered her a late birthday present the other day, I hope it’s not too advanced, but I got her this really cool MP3 player that has a karaoke thing going and also can be hooked up to a TV. I’m not too sure how it works, but I’m sure that she will figure it out. They have the coolest things for kids now.
Sonya is doing good, not showing too many signs of pregnancy yet, but I’m sure that will change soon. She has been complaining about the drive into town quite a lot, because apparently the price of gas is pushing $4 a gallon now! Holy moly am I glad that I don’t have to drive 40 miles a day anymore. One more benefit to working on the boat! Anyways, we are going to have to find another place pretty soon so she can be closer to town and all of the things that she needs. I guess when I get back we will try and arrange something, but I have no idea what.
I’ve been going through the flyer that the company puts out about all of the trips they do and it is amazing. I’m not sure if I mentioned it or not, but I get one free trip every six months I work for them, so I hope to capitalize on that. The couple that stand out are a train tour on the Siberian Railway, a south America tour that includes 7 days cruising the Galapagos Islands then heads over to Peru to take a trip up the Inca Trail, and then of course Antarctica. I’m not quite sure how I’ll swing it, but I’d like to hit as many as I can while I can. It’s an outstanding opportunity, good thing I plan to be with this company for a while.
