Well we finally left Finland and are in route to warmer weather. The ship is starting to come to life. Woo hoo!! I haven't seen real sunshine in over a month and I'm dying to experience fun in the sun when we reach Florida. It's very cold and extremely windy at the moment-the ship is rocking a lot and I like it. It's incredibly soothing. I just came out of a bamboo massage and woke up to a beautiful view of the white cap waves in the uneasy water. Amazing. It's absolutely amazing.
At 1:00 am this morning I escaped from a giant party in the Royal Promenade to view a very special event. We passed under the largest bridge in the world that runs from Denmark to Sweden. Royal Caribbean paid 100 Euros for a retractable smoke stack just to clear the bridge 1 time! The planning involved in accomplishing that is astounding. So many variables to consider. We cleared it by only 2 meters and I witnessed the whole thing from the top deck. It seriously looked like we were going to hit it! Everyone was cheering and high-fiving...very fun. I stood next to the man responsible of the planning and building of the ship. Very interesting fellow. I really enjoyed our chat--I'm meeting so many interesting people.
We crew are responsible for stress testing this massive vessel so we all get to be guest during our 2 week crossing. I'm also getting some much needed practice teaching classes. I have to learn to teach Gravity, Spin, Boot Camp, Yoga, Pilates and Kinesis. It's a lot but I'm determined. I'm learning a lot about nutrition and detox and conducting consultations and seminars on those topics.
My spa manager is excellent-the best in the business. She's taking me, Kallum and David (my fitness partners) out to dinner tonight so I must go now. More to come later.
I miss all of you so much. xoxoxxoxo
