10 years at sea

I can't believe I have been at sea for 10 years! Here's to me!

Distraction

My Dad is out of the hospital now and recovering at home. I am so relieved. But it was so difficult to be here not knowing what is happening back home. I tried to stay as positive as I could but my mind was wondering too much. The only way I could distract myself was to go out in port.  I visited some friends in San Juan, Puerto Rico and went to a resort in Curacao.  I also threw myself into work, a little too much I think and co-created the Oscars.  At the end of it all I got sick and felt pretty bad but that's a whole other post on its own.

I also celebrated my 10 year anniversary at sea. I can't believe it's been 10 years already!!!  My team was so sweet and they threw me a surprise party. I also accepted the 10 year pin from my favorite Captain. I feel so accomplished!

Here are some shots from San Juan, PR:

 I also spent the day decomposing in beautiful Curacao. What a pretty little Dutch island:
