Juneau & Ketchikan

These two days have been pretty incredible. I've feel like I've landed - it took 12 days but I live here now. Yesterday I met the new Captain who starts on Tuesday. He came to the spa to get a haircut and he looked like any ol' passenger. So when he was introduced as "this is the captain" I thought it was a joke and luckily I held my tongue because I almost said something like yeah and I'm Tenille. Or oh hi I'm the Chief Security Officer...Whew 1 liners have never served me... Last night was crew Bingo. Some of you know I've been dying to play bingo for awhile. Couldn't even get my dad to play at leisure world. So I stayed up until midnight - when it starts!!! and it was big fun. Bingo is the origin of multitasking. Today I hiked in ketchikan and saw a casual bald eagle. Tonight we are dressing up and going to the show. Work is going well - starting to trade with people at the spa. Til next time...sending love and pictures will come soon....kg

Adjusting

still adjusting to ship life - doing acupuncture in the spa -getting my pictures uploaded on to this blog and so on. Today is a day off !!! However my trainer is on board for 3 days (he just showed up!!!!) so I'm working with him for half the day and had to cancel an Alaskan adventure. :(
but...he's good at what he does. For ex. I do 3 presentations a week to promote acupuncture- before speaking with him maybe 1 person would schedule after my talk... but the day after I had 7 people and 5 booked appointments. Every week 2,000 people get on board and I have to create a work week. On tuesday I found 2 models so I will do a demo for people who are touring the Spa when they get on the ship. Then I will treat the models for free...so that's how it works! Love to you all!! Keep the emails and responses coming they mean so much to me!!!!! photo is a rest in Skagway

My first week

Just a short post to let you know I finished my first week and I'm very tired. So much to learn and adjust to. I have the most beautiful view from my treatment room. It's unreal. I will be getting off the ship tomorrow in Seattle. I almost had to (wo)Man the ship in
seattle but that will be next week. Lots of little surprises some good some bad. My computer is a disaster so far -hopefully i can download pictures in the future. next week I'm renting a car in skagway with some people for the whole day to see some wildlife (hopefully bears!!) signing off sending love kg

Here I go!!! In Seattle with Sam (my daughter) and wonderful son-in-law Antoine and new cutie grandson Toby - a beagle/bordercollie mix. CUTEST family! I'm Loving being here while I wait for my ship to come in tomorrow morning - The Carnival Spirit. I'll be the Acupuncturist at Sea for four months - Alaska/ Hawaii/ Mexico. Come cruise with me! Google the ship for my itinerary. 1st part of the journey is eight - 7 day cruises to Alaska. Every Tuesday I'm back in Seattle. Follow my blog and I'll take you with me!!!!!!!!!
