Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from somewhere between the Bahamas and Columbia! The seas are smooth and the view from my office is beautiful. Okay, it's just water in every direction but it is still beautiful. While we are on the subject, it is a little different to see only water for two days because I was never far from land in Alaska and never had more than one sea day in a row. Anyways, e water was beautiful today because the color kept changing. The sun this morning made it light blue but the afternoon clouds turned it to a deep topaz. This job is teaching me that one can see beauty anywhere, you just have to take the time to notice it. I am so grateful that the Lord created such a beautiful world for us to enjoy.

HAL is really good about taking care of their crew, so they had a special luncheon for the American crew members (about 30 of us) this afternoon. I am grateful to work for a company that cares. We enjoyed a terriyaki turkey appetizer, lentil soup, turkey with stuffing, vegetables, and candied yams, pumpkin pie, and wine (everyone else enjoyed wine, I enjoyed a nice glass of ginger ale). It was so nice to have time to sit and enjoy a meal in the dining room with just my friends and coworkers. I am hoping, however, that the Lido has more pumpkin pie at dinner.

I hope you all have as nice a holiday as I had!
