Well yesterday was Vigo, Spain. Very pretty, but very boring. We were only there for a couple of hours and because I accidentally slept in (I really did need the sleep) I only got two hours of shore time.
Today we cruised through the straight of Gibraltar. I got some photos but it was amazing to see Morocco.
Now I just need to see Australia, the North Pole and the South Pole :-)
Tomorrow is Barcelona, Spain. I'm hoping to get a lot of shore time but we may have crew drills. Stupid MCA is awful. They have such stupid rules about stuff. Talk about paranoia. And they schedule their drills in the biggest and best ports so it's takes away all the time we could be exploring. It seems every other day there is some kind of drill.

Well, 16 days left? I haven't started packing. It's kind of hard because I have no idea what Portugal and Italy will be like. Most likely hot like it was in Vigo, but until then, I don't know what I'll need to wear. I'll be missing Cannes, France. But no loss there. I've met so many French people on board, I'll be happy to miss their rude little ways. I'll just ask someone to buy me a shot glass and take a Casey's Gay photo. I'm still trying to get Lisbon, Portugal. I'm willing to trade Gibraltar since I've heard there's nothing but vicious monkeys running wild there. Wish me luck! And see you all really soon!

Hi Roxanne,
Sorry that I haven't written in a while. It sounds like you have seen so much on your trip. I can't wait to talk to you when you get back. Maybe we can have a get-together so you can share your stories and look at pictures.
I read that you had seen that story about the kid from Placentia with the sleeping disorder. He is actually a Valencia student. There was a newspaper article and a news story about the kid a long time ago. Weird huh? Can sleep for days.
Well, Travis graduated from high school. We had a big party for him. It turned out really nice. he got a video camera so he can take video when he visits the world. He also got enough money to buy himself a laptop, so he can keep in touch while he is away. After boot camp....only letters are allowed while he is at boot camp.
Well...I am done with work for the summer...so I will keep my eye on your travels...and see you when you get back.
Oh ya....use the dang sunscreen...ye who sees no sun...lol
Love, Nina Rosie
