Day 46 – June 14, 2010 – Sea Day, “Colorz”, the handover, studying up on my Greek Mythology

Thankfully we were at sea today because all these port visits are wearing me out!!! HA! There weren’t any tours scheduled for today, so I just hung out, blogged and Pieter and I started our picture transfer – we’ve visited many of the same places this trip, so we decided to share all our albums, in case one of us had a better shot of something. Of course that was a major undertaking as we also traded some music and ripped movies too, lol.

I found out today that my replacement will be here on Saturday, so I have to start getting ready for that. I’ll have to train her and prepare handover notes for that. I hear she’s from the states and has been with NCL for several years in some capacity, so that’s good, I guess! I’m also training another dresser tonight so that she can help train my replacement for “Colorz”, which only happens every other week. So that should be fun. It’s really sad to leave the cast, as I genuinely like them personally and enjoy working with them. Many of them will go on to other ships and I’m sure as I look at other contract possibilities, the potential to work with a familiar face certainly would be a factor.

Tonight, I got ready for my first trip to the Acropolis tomorrow by reading up on it in my travel book. Pieter also got a book on the history of the Gods and Goddesses of Olympus and I read that summary and the section specifically on Athena – for whom the Parthenon was built and the city of Athens named. With my imagination running wild, full of visions of the God/desses ruling the Earth, I went to bed, eager to visit the ancient site after boat drill, of course. HA!
