Hi there folks - I am finally back from delivering our new ship the Getaway all the way to Miami, all her inaugurals and crazy charters are done and I can stay home for a while. The Getaway was, in fact, the Bud Light Hotel at the Super Bowl and I got to spend that time aboard her while she was parked in NYC for those five days. It was kind of crazy, but I think people had a good time, even the folks who were disappointed at the game. I watched it from Landmark Tavern just off the west side pier area across from the Intrepid and had a relatively good time since I knew little about either team.

Anyway - here is part 11 of Body, Heart and Soul.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope the holidays were good of one and all. I just got back from yet another trip to Germany, but this will be the last one for quite a while. Our new ship the Getaway just launched and is on her way to her inaugurals, and then onward to NYC to be the host hotel for the Super Bowl. We hope the weather isn’t too awful - today one of our ships came in getting snowed on, and cracking the ice in it’s pier.

Part 10 - Body Heart ad Soul

Hey folks - hope everyone is having a nice wind up to the holidays. It’s still warm down here in Florida, though I hear it might get to the 60s tomorrow. Here is the 9th part to Body Heart and Soul - enjoy.

Sorry about that folks! Here’s the link!

Body, Heart and Soul Part 9

Hello again! My travel fro 2013 is finally over, and you should start seeing more frequent updates now. Our next ships aren’t until 2015 so I get a break and get to stay home for a while. This is a shot of the sunset just before we left Papenburg - you can see lines of
camper vans waiting to follow the ship down the Ems to the North Sea.

Here is Part 8 of Body Heart and Soul.

At long last an update! Sorry about that folks - I had to take a break to go to Papenburg and execute a project to install the network components in our new cruise ship Norwegian Getaway currently under construction there. Some people do wonder why I usually stop updating when I am overseas and the reason is that our days are very long out there. It’s a six hour plus time difference from Miami, so how it works is we get up at 2am Miami time and work all day - but when our day is winding down at 5 or 6 pm, it’s just 11 or 12 noon back home and the work doesn’t stop until six Miami time - which is midnight in Germany.

So between that, and the fact that my team does tend to eat as a group when we are there I don’t get time in the evenings to write as I do when I’m home. We are about halfway through the process for Getaway - I fly back there on November 3rd and will be there until after the sea trials end but after that - well, after that actually I am going to New Zealand for a week. LOL. But that’s vacation.

Anyway, enjoy part 7 of Body Heart and Soul.
