Cold, Hard Tile
Sitting in the airport in Grenada. I'm so glad there's free internet here. It's a comfort even though I'm forced to sit next to the only outlet in the room, on the rather uncomfortable ground.
My travel companion is Edra - a Turkish waiter - who is just as sad to leave the Summit as I am.
The Caribbean was amazing and I have no bad feelings about leaving, as with this job I will probably spend the next two winters sailing the islands. Next time I'll just know where the hot spots are, and what the local brews are.
My flight is boarding... more to come soon...

New Social Circle
I leave for the Eclipse in 15 days and it feels fitting. Last Saturday the cast signed off. So in one day I lost my Jersey girl Kimmy, the sweetheart that is Graham, and my Hungarian personal trainer Sandor. Along with them went my Newlyed Game friend Romina and my trombone playing buddy Mike. Anna's on compassionate leave, Sara's extraordinarily busy and this Saturday I lost the acapella boys and Kirsty.
On the bright side, I still have ITV Dan and the new acapella group is full of guys I knew from the Century. I slowly get used to people coming and going, but I don't know if it's something I'll ever be old hat at. Luckily I leave in 15 days. However that makes it a bit worse. now that my social circle is changing I have no desire to make a new one for a few weeks. This is the struggle that is ship life.
We've all been taking advantage of every last minute. I went to the beach every day this week. St Kitts I braved the spot with the goat. I didn't go near the cage even though my friends assured me he was locked up. I didn't dare. I just put up with the constant negh-ing from my oh-so sensitive friends. I even got a neigh during "In the Jungle" from Rob in their last show. Thanks for the shout out, buddy. Anyway, we spent the day laying on the sand, having lunch and playing cornhole. Funny thing about cornhole - harder than it looks. I kind of suck at it.
Antigua found us at Nest Beach wit the world's most amazing cocnut shrimp. I mean it. You all know I'm not a big eater, but this was the kind of food I let sit in my mouth. I just let it sit there so I could taste the coconut and the shrimp. Oh it was amazing. That was followed by play time in the water. We formed a big circle and threw a football around. I always love the reaction I get when the guys finally throw the ball to me and are chocked that this five foot girl can throw a spiral - and pretty far. Thanks Campbell Middle.
We braved the waves again in St. Lucia. I really mean braved, though. Those waves were massive. It was great. It felt like home. A group of friends chasing and punching waves. It was amazing until Rob got thrown into a rock and we had to take him home. He's ok, don't worry.
So now everyone's gone. Like I said, I still have Dan. We spent yesterday in St. Maaretn with broadcast people from the Millenium. I had never met anyone else with my job, so that was interesting. I kind of sitting back now, enjoying the new friendship I'm forming with the art associate Susan. As much as I hate goodbyes seeing how many familiar faces are on the Summit reminds me that meeting up with people in the future is not out of the real of possibilities.
