The Life and Times of S

I'm back!

Hello all and wish you all a very Happy New Year 2006. I'm back from the Caribbean with a bathing-suit tan, a burnt nose and a lot less sleep than I had imagined. But tiring as it was, the trip was an absolute blast! A brief description follows:

Southern Caribbean Cruise aboard the Golden Princess
1400 crew and 2600 Passengers including: S., P., the other S., A., R., V., N. and the other P.
Sailing Date: 10pm, December 31st, 2005 from San Juan, Puerto Rico
New Year's Eve Deck Party on Lido Deck # 15 (best New Year's Eve bash I've been to since I moved from India in 2001)
Pit-stops: St.Thomas (U.S.V.I), St. Kitts (U.S.V.I), Isla Margharita (Venezuela), Grenada, Aruba
Disembarkation: 11 am, January 7th, 2006 to San Juan, Puerto Rico

Decided to stay an extra day in San Juan, which was absolutely worth the ridiculously expensive hotel room and flew back into Ottawa last night. I think I've fallen in love with San Juan. I'd describe it as the perfect blend of Europe and the Caribbean. The job hunt as a beach waitress is now on full force, though I'd need to be at least half as hot as the perfectly tanned and toned Spanish beauties to get that job. So the New Year's resolution is going to be to lose 30 pounds within the next 30 minutes (if I had my way!) and book a flight out of the Great White North in the next hour.

Immensely tired, unable to do anything to lose the above-mentioned 30 pounds and battling a nasty ear infection at the moment, I have decided to skip work for tomorrow. And reminisce about the good times that I had while on the boat, imagine the good times that I could be having had my beloved P. been around (Btw, P. decided to stay a couple of days in Chicago to visit a friend. I flew into Ottawa through Washington.), look outside the window at all this snow and drink myself into oblivion. Did I tell you that I'm a teetotaller?

Anyway, I've been looking at the screen for about 10 minutes now and my nose has started to run. I'll be back with some evidence of all the fun I had soon. Till then, Sweet Dreams, Everyone.

I hate sleeping alone.
