USA - Day 2

We have been on board the Oasis of the seas for less than 24 hours - even as a write that I can barely believe it. This ship is absolutely incredible and if I try to describe it to you I dont think I will do it justice. I will upload some pics to facebook when I get the chance.

Another unfortunate thing is that I do not have internet access - the boat has Wi-Fi, but this is ridiculously expensive, so I am not sure when you will read this. We are going to be on the sea all day today to make it to Labidee tomorrow morning. Everyday there are numerous shows to attend, activities to do. It has actually been quite a tough assignment to understand the best ways to structure your days.

There are certain things that happened yesterday that will happen everyday: A daily game of table tennis and a putt-putt matchplay tournament. Lounging for hours in a jacuzzi, trying new beers, reading my novel, meeting very interesting people from all over the world, dancing in the nightclub, watching some live performances at the theatre... all of these things have happened in the last 16 hours and will be on repeat for a few days. I think that the moment I start to feel a less overwhelmed with the magnitude of the ship (i still have not seen so much of it) we will be docking and I will have a whole new country to find out about. By the end of the trip I will have 5 different currencies in my waller. I quite enjoy the thought of that!

Tonight is our official Gala Dinner function. I have rented some extras to go with my suit - i think it is going to be extremely formal so I wanted to look my best. Even Darryl is wearing a tux :)

That’s all for now....
