Still trying to hang on to vacation mode...

     It may be -35 outside, but as long as I don't have to go out and I keep looking at my pictures of tropical islands....I can forget that, haha. I miss the warm moist air I tell ya. Here, as soon as you step off the plane all the moisture gets sucked right out of your skin and hair....dry dry dry! I can't keep enough moisturizer around. There was a small humidifier left behind in someone's room, and I said I'd take it! Very sad though, I filled it and ran it all night and not a drop of water came out. No wonder they left it behind :(
     So, the rest of the islands were all beautiful, although I think St. Kitt's and Dominica were my favourites. I had never even heard of Dominica before we went on this cruise. There are many many islands in the Caribbean, that much I found out. It just all fades so fast....sigh.
     It's been crazy here at Albian Village. We had a couple of weeks of arrivals like crazy, no rooms, then back to normal on the weekend. The expansion trailers have gone, saw a few of them headed down the road this past week. I haven't even been over to that side of camp to see what it looks like, with all of them gone.
     We seem to have lots of front desk staff now. I guess this is up to normal, but it hasn't been since I've bene here so it seems strange to have full coverage, lol. Hard to believe that next week I'll have been here for 6 months. I've been here longer than 7 of the front desk staff (out of 8) and 5 of the management staff (out of 9). That's just in the front offices, not including the other departments. Seems crazy!
     I have also turned over a new fitness leaf, and have now settled into a 30-40 min workout everyday. Believe it or not, folks, my alarm goes off at 5:15 every morning and I'm in the gym by 5:30. I know, I can hear the disbelief but really, it's true!
     On that note, 5:15 rolls around early, so I'm in to bed early!
