and the cruise goes on...

The job continues here on the seven seas Mariner and I feel as if little has changed. Well, a lot has changed actually. First of all, I am used to telling stories of all the cool animal sights I have been seeing over the past couple of weeks. Now, all my stories have to do with other animals...the kids. Lets just say the kids on board have gotten more and more ridiculous as the weeks go on and now I empathize with my mother when she gets home from school completely exhausted, with story after story of a poorly behaved child. Probably one of the worst ever that we have had was a kid whose parents both looked like they were in their 60's. I'm not really sure how that all worked out, but lets just say a 4'8", 10 year old kid made the other kids cry just about every day. I honestly have never seen a kid in time-out this much in my entire life, let alone 7 days. What are these parents feeding him? Also, he escaped from the other kids program before his parents came to pick him up and they almost had to do a shipwide search to find him. yikes.

As for other news, I am still working on pictures for this blog, I have to make them all very small files to be able to upload, so when I get the time I will do it I promise. Also, most of my good friends on the ship are in the band. Somehow, with a change in ownership of Regent, the band is getting kicked off the ship (not for something they did wrong, just a change ). So come July 9 in Vancouver, many of my good friends will be gone ;( The good thing is, there will be a new band and maybe new cool people to hang out with so I wish for the best.

More to come...
