Just 6 weeks left!!!!

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well, I'm doing pretty good. So, I'm here on Infinity still, I've been here almost a month now, and I'm enjoying being back on this ship, there's lots of old friends, and of course some new ones as well! The 2 best things, my good friend Josue is here and we've had so much fun together, and there are so many latins that you are falling over partners for dancing during latin night! Of course Josue is the best partner!

So, what's going on with me? Well, after never going to the doctor on my first contract, I'm making up for it now! Just before I left Galaxy I had to go for pain in my neck, I had stressed myself out too much and had a big knot, big enough to need some muscle relaxants! And at beginning of the last cruise, unfortunately I got GI, so I was confined to my cabin for 48 hours - it was so boring! I did not enjoy having that time off...I had to rely on someone else to deliver my meals - the one time it took more than 3 hours - I was so starving! Then today I had to go back to the doctor cause I've got some strange stuff going on with my leg - the doctor for now thinks it's an infection, so I'm taking antibiotics - so I hope that's all it is and it'll clear up in the next few days.

I'm really enjoying the ports on the Pacific side of the Panama Canal - Costa Rica, and Mexico. Costa Rica is alright, but they have a great place to have 'Fruit Salad' It's not just fruit though, it also has ice cream, nuts, chocolate sauce, raisins and coconut in it - so yummy! Mexico has been really fun as well, I've enjoyed eating out - and I found a ring that I really liked in Huatulco last time that I need to go back and buy tomorrow! My new favorite port though is Acapulco! It looks like such a fun city! And I have had a lot of fun there, we go to this restaurant called Paradise - it is all outside seating, some on the beach, and some in the restaurant, and it has a pool, and bungy jumping (not that I've done that!) But what we do is sit in the restaurant, order our drinks and food, then we go swim in the pool and wait for our food to arrive? Is that paradise or what? After lunch today in Acapulco, Josue and I decided to rent a jet ski! It was so fun! But the poor guy, everytime we went over a wave I screamed, then giggled in his ear - I think he's still got some ringing in his ears tonight...

Well, we are currently on our way back to Ft Lauderdale, and we have about a month before we will be arriving in Victoria for the first time! And that means just a couple more weeks and I'll be home for vacation! Things feel like they have gone so much faster this contract! I think transferring ships really helped with that in the middle of my contract. It's been a great contract I think, and I'm looking forward to my next contract (but definitely looking forward to a nice vacation first!) when I will be a guest account purser. I'm still waiting to hear what ship I will be on, but Patric and I are going to try to be together. Currently he is scheduled for the new ship, Equinox, but I will not be going there, so we will need to try to get him to request whatever ship I will be going to.

Anyways, I've chatted enough I think, so I'll say goodbye for now. Keep in touch! Miss you all!
