So I never thought the day would come but it's official. I am now sitting in the middle of America aka Iowa trying to figure out where i am gonig next. My last blog was almost 2 months ago and so much has happen since then. After all the ups and downs on the ship I thought for sure I wouldnt want to go back, but my itch for traveling has gotten worse. First let me tell you what the last two months were like on the ship. The rest of november and december we had the same cruises and the same places. We would leave from singapore and go to a few places in Malaysia and Thailand. It was nice to go to the same places for awhile because it gave us a chance to see different things. For some reason I always seemed to find a way to go shopping in every port haha I think that reasons name is Lorna! My little irish rose was such a bad influence in shopping lol but I am so grateful for that girl I dont care how much it cost me :) Well after all the shopping I finally had a great day in thailand on Christmas Eve. I finally went on a tour! It was to a place called Phi Phi lsland which i have been talking about forever. It was the most amazing day ever! We went to different spots on this amazing island and went snorkeling. I even got to play with a monkey named Chicken lol. It was that day that i realized what exactly i was on this journey for. .. I want to see the World! Thailand is amazing and I would love to return someday but if i dont i will still always remember the amazing day i had in paradise. As far as life on board through the holidays was a little tough. Like I has said before even though i have these wonderful opportunities it comes at a cost. I was not able to be around for some amazing things. If anything holds me back from wanting to be on ships the rest of my life it is the fact that i miss out on so much back home. I never realized how much i love to be around the kids and watch them grow. So this is the point where i have to decide what the choice will be. So for now lets just leave it to a wonderful experience that has brought me here visiting with people i have missed and talking about places only some people can dream about. I am grateful for everything all that I have seen and i am extremely grateful for all the people that love me enough to care to listen about all that I have done. Thanks for listening! Until next time...
