On Friday I Fly Away

     On Friday I fly away!!!!!!  I'm off to Hong Kong the day after Thanksgiving to start my new life as a mariner.  I will be singing for Silversea Cruises, aboard their ship Silver Shadow, while being transported from Southeast Asia to Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Russia, Alaska and Canada for the next seven months!  I am so excited I could spit!  I've never understood that phrase before.  I'm not sure I understand it now, but if I had to spit due to the amount of excitement I am experiencing...I would. 

     I am in the middle of packing and repacking.  It's hard to fit the next seven months of my life into two suitcases!  Sadly, there is not room for more...trust me, I've seen pictures of the rooms provided to the performers and they are a far cry from the luxury suites for the guests!  I believe my room will be about the size of their closets!  

     I am so excited and truly blessed to be able to explore the world this way!  I've only been on a cruise ship once and it was during my Honeymoon in Hawaii.  We boarded a dinner cruise and were slightly chagrined when we realized that everyone was speaking Japanese.  Ha!  We had fun even though we couldn't understand anyone!

     Oh!  Did I mention the best part?  My husband is going with me!  That's right!  We get to sail the seas together and experience things I've never dreamed of!  God is truly great and I am so thankful for the blessings and talent that have been given to me, and I am so thrilled to be able to use them in this opportunity! 

...I hope I don't get sea-sick.
