caribbean week 3. life of a cruise ship nurse

week 3 started out great.  we went to crew bingo night.  what a complete blast!!  how did i not know about this before? i had so much fun.

grand turk was rainy today.  however, that did not keep me from the beach.  i went and collected some more sea glass and just enjoyed walking with my feet in the warm water

it was cooler today, but still felt fantastic.

we had high seas today.  this view is out the port hole in the doc's office.  normally the water is below the window.  not today.

sailing into san juan, pr. this is the fort in old town

such beautiful scenery

i am loving the colors here

more beautiful colors

views from the top of the hill

the ocean was angry today and the wind  was blowing hard

a cemetary on the seashore

i wondered what would happen during a hurricane with a cemetary right there.

i was windblown.  seriously crazy weather here today

stunning beauty all around me

that is jeremy.  he is gay.  apparently when he is drunk he is not gay.

allister and i hanging out in san juan.  we had so much fun. i introduced him to cold stone.  he may now be addicted.

really?

watching the gangway show.  honestly one of the funniest things i have ever seen.  we tell everyone when we are leaving port and then we go up and watch as they run to the ship to try to make it before they close the gangway.  the best part?  the princess ship across the pier whose passengers cheered like football fans as the people ran like hell to make the ship. so incredibly funny!

peter and robin also enjoyed the gangway show

medical center christmas party.  what a complete blast.  we invited crew from all over the ship to celebrate the season with us. (krista, alvin, linda, me, jo, and elizabeth)

allister and i at the party

this is shep the service dog and i.  he made my week.  he helped me not to miss jack quite as much

the medical team enjoying time together in the crows nest on our last night. (elizabeth, jo, me, krista, and linda)

allister and i in the crows nest.  what a great 3 weeks.  i have had a complete blast.  it has been a great learning experience, but also a ton of fun. i love being a cruise ship nurse.  i am so stinkin lucky!
