2 Weeks

This pic is the hill outside my window. As you see there is about 8in of snow. it is good for snowmobiling.
Well I have been in NY for a little over 2 weeks and I have not done much. Here is a list of things that I have done:
1. Watched almost all of my movies
2. Went to Temple
3. Helped dad get a truck load of wood
4. Got snow tires on my car
5. Hung out with my niece
6. Done Nothing

I am not going to Mexico so I will be staying in NY for the time being. I have been really board. I have been out of work for a month now and I think that it is time that I got a job for the next couple of months until I go back to Alaska in April.

I now have snow tires on my car so I can now go places if the weather is not bad.My house is in the middle of no ware so the roads can get pretty bad when we get a lot of snow and rain that turns to ice. Today it is raining and that is freezing to everything. We did not go to church today b/c the road already had ice on it. We are going to stay in and watch movies all day. That is what I have been doing with most of my time so there nothing different.

New York

Well I left Orlando Florida on November 14th. It was a 2 day journey to NY, that was very long 22 hours of driving. I am glad that Mom and Dad were with me. I will admit that they did most of the driving and I did a lot of sleeping which is all I can do so I don't get car sick. We stopped in NC for the night. It rained most of the drive. So I was glad that I did not have to drive that much because I am not a big fan of driving in the rain. When we woke up in the morning there where tornado warnings in the area so we got out of there as soon as we could. That day the rain was behind us most of the time. Which was good.

Delhi New York has not changed much since I left 3 years ago. I like that a little bit because it is easy to get back in to the swing of things but on the other hand it is still boring there is not much to do. There is not too many members my age to hang out with so I am board already. But I will make it work. Its good to be back home to see my family and friends. I have missed them. I don't miss the cold weather though. It has not got above 35 degrees, which I am not liking to much. I guess I will have to get used to it if I will be here for while.

I still have not heard about Mexico. That makes me think that I did not get it for this season. I kinda have a plan for now but not really. I am going to reapply for the Alaska season in April. I should get that because they need more people for that season. I got offered my old job back at the jail if I want it. Which I might take because it is pretty good money and the hours are nice. But I am really not going to start until after the holidays. Since I have not be home for them in almost 4 years. I am happy about that. I might even start apply for other cruise ship jobs. But I am still hoping that I get Mexico.

Busy, Busy,Busy

So my time in Orlando has been keeping me busy. I was going to try and relax but that has not been happening. But that's ok. I would have been board if I was just siting doing nothing. I went to Disney with some friends from the boat David and Chris. It was fun to hang out with them outside of the boat. We are different people when we are not on the boat. Then me and Chris went to Universal. It was fun to be at Universal, I have not been there in a while.

Now it is time for me to start getting ready for my move to NY. I still don't know if I am going to Mexico or not. That is making me mad because I was suppose to know November 1st. Maybe one day I will know what I am doing with my life. So for now I will move to NY and hopefully I will know by the end of the month about Mexico. Wish me luck. If not I will hang out in NY until April when I will start Alaska again.

Back In Orlando

So I have been back in Orlando for about 2 weeks. I miss my boat. It is hard to get your land legs after being on a boat for 8 weeks. Those 8 weeks on the boat were great. I learned lots and put mu skills that I learned in collage to use. I got to see lots of California Wine Country. Cali is a really pretty state. I spent lots of time in the Napa Valley. The ports that we stopped were really boring. There was not much to do if we wanted to do anything then we had to take a cap ride into town. I did it the 1st couple of times then I did not want to spend the money to get into town.
I tried to go on a hot air balloon ride. So we got to the take off point and they started to blow up the balloon and they got the balloon all the way blown then the wind was to windy and they could not safety fly the balloon. I was sad I really wanted to go but I rather be on the ground safe then in the air not safe. There will be another time to go.


I spent some time in San Francisco after I got of the boat before I came back to Orlando.
Some friends from the boat went with me (Erin, Shane, and Chris). It was great to get to hang out with them out side of the boat. We did a lot of walking around. I ate at an In-N-Out Burger for the 1st time. It was good. Erin and I went to the Wax Museum. It was a little weird to see how real the people look even though they are made of wax. We also went to Chirardelli square. They have the best chocolate around. We had ice cream and chocolate covered strawberries. They were so good.
After that we went back to the hotel and relaxed then we went in to down town San Fran. San Fran is a busy place. We road on a trolley car it was really cool. We got a little lost on are way back. I was thankful that Erin was with me b/c she got me back to the hotel safely.

It is great to be able to see the west coast. I am grateful and very blessed to be able to travel as part of my job. I am loving the experience that I am gaining. I am ready to start my next adventure.

I will be moving back to NY in Nov. I will have that as my home base for my time off in between my time on the boat. I will also travel in between the cruises.
