Wow, that went quick!
Christmas was good, time well spent with family, and the new year started busy, but normal. In fact, I didn't even see midnight this New Years Eve. January went by very fast, as I worked like crazy trying to get things done on my new home, and the month ended as I started my week on board Ships & Dip V From Miami through the Caribbean.
It was an awesome time of concerts and a great opportunity to hang out with friends from last year, and meet so many more amazing people. Spending my day in Cozumel SCUBA diving wasn't as worth it as everyone said, very similar to the Bahamas & Costa Rica, and even Australia for that matter, but it was a cool experience, and of course nice to add another country to my dive log.
Our stop in the Bahamas at Great Stirrup Cay was cancelled due to weather, so instead we made port at Florida's Key West. I spent the day there touring the town, and it was nice to just hang out, but the weather wasn't very nice (sunny, but chilly) so it didn't have the full Caribbean effect. The evening on board was a lot of fun, spent a lot of time in the hot tub, then mostly inside due to the temperature. But the bands played all night, and we kept the boat rockin' (might have been mostly the weather, but I think we had some impact!) and before we knew it we found ourselves back in Miami and parting ways.
I decided due to the cool temp's in Florida, as well as a few other things, that it would be better to change my flight and get home to finish my house. So Friday night I was back in Alberta (it really didn't feel that much colder!) and the following weekend (last weekend) I moved into my new, almost finished (arrghh) home. This morning I called around trying to get trades in to finish their jobs!
So, hopefully unpacking and setting up the house goes quickly, and I can enjoy some long awaited relax time, before I take on another silly project.
What else, did I forget something? Hmm, oh ya, photos to follow soon! I'll also post some videos on facebook & youtube when I have enough time!
Let me know if I missed something!! Talk to ya soon. |
