SUNSET VIEW OF SXM

Sooooo............here's a view from our room in St. Maarten last week. Arnoldo (a front desk manager at the Maho), took care of us and put Maria and I in a great room with a FABULOUS view. I've attached a few other shots so you can get an idea of just how neat being in SXM is. (I've included a shot of Maria on the balcony so her mom and dad can see how great she looks!!!) Now you know why I want to retire there!!! How cool is this????? The sunset speaks for itself. Click on the photos to enlarge them. More tomorrow. ;-)

SORRY ABOUT THAT EVERYONE

Hey everyone, sorry about being out of touch for so long, but I've been on the road and pretty busy over the Thanksgiving day holiday week. Of course I have the privilege of working Thanksgiving, Christmas, AND New Years......the holiday trifecta............and on top of that I'm getting ready to start moving into a new place...........so hang in there with me and I'll get some new stuff out in a day or so. Thanks for checking in.... karl

CONTINENTAL AIRLINES PIZZA

Well everyone, I just got back for ONE DAY of rest and recuperation, and then head back to work for the next seven days, so here's my "one" new post. On my last trip to St. Maarten, I noticed a menu that had pizzas named for different airlines. First on the list was Continental Airlines pizza. Pretty basic pizza if you ask me. Luckily, my job seems to have a lot of the toppings I need. :-) I want to take a moment to thank everyone for stopping in and reading my blog. I'll try to do better at getting more posts up, but for now it looks like it'll be eight or nine days before I get the opportunity to post again. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!

BEAUTIFUL BERMUDA

Bermuda is one of the most beautiful islands we fly to. Unfortunately, we don't have any overnights there, but that's okay since it'd cost a paycheck just to have breakfast. LOL. Well, maybe not an entire paycheck, but yes, it IS quite expensive. The approach and arrival is just gorgeous. They collect rainwater from their roofs and that's what they use for everything. Ahhhh...... the life of an islander. Well, off to work for a few days. I'll post more neat stuff when I get back.

OASIS OF THE SEAS

Well, my computer is finally up and running again after a NASTY virus shut it down and took all my files with it. Luckily I have an INCREDIBLE computer whiz who was able to get it back up and running like new in just two days! Thanks Yoram!! So, here's a shot I took last night of the LARGEST CRUISE ship ever built, the Oasis of the Seas. It's docked here in Ft. Lauderdale for a few days and then off it'll go. I think the ship will be based out of FLL for a while. Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to ride in her one day............ Quite a massive ship, isn't it?
