Just a brief update of my meanderings. I'm now on my second ship, the Norwegian Star, in Hawaii. My two roommates leave Sunday, and presumably will be replaced by one. The room is huge when it's not at full occupancy (six!). Working with ten girls is a new experience for me. We hang out in each other's rooms and play with hair and give massages, while talking about guys. I'm not kidding.
For those who wanted to send care packages, always appreciated, I always forget to bring the address to the computers. I'll email it soon. I'm leaving for Alaska in two weeks, but if you're that determined...
This itinerary has a lot less free time than the Majesty, but it's fun. We put on a talent show with the kids, and it's a big hit with the parents. Last night, we spun cotton candy in Planet Kids. I'm working with Lyana this week, with the 6-9 year olds. She kept feeding me cotton candy so my energy level would be up there with the kids'. We had a blast.
Last Saturday, my friends and I rented a convertible Mustang (silver) and drove around Kauai to the Waimea canyon. It's like the Grand Canyon, and it was beautiful.
We also visit Fanning Island, which is not developed much at all. The people have wide feet because they don't wear shoes. You can often see children sitting under tables eating candy that our passengers have brought them. When you walk past them, they give you the biggest, sweetest smiles. Some of the passengers return to the ship sad at the conditions in which these people live, but they're fools. These people aren't starving and they're in no way unfortunate for living without tv or malls. Their island is only a few degrees from the equator, and it's breathtakingly beautiful. The water is a million shades of blue, which punch out so much more with my new polarized sunglasses.
In two weeks time, I fly to Vancouver to join the Wind. I've looked at the itinerary, which you, too, can see on ncl.com, and it looks awesome.
I hope you're all very well. I'm in an especially great mood today. I think emailing you all brings me up even higher. I love thinking about all of you at the same time.
Message for today:
Live, laugh, love, everyday.
Love always, Genoa
