Northbound to West Palm Beach

36hours on planes&airports, 3hours in JFK terminal without passport, 20 min on a scooter, 1hr13min on the train, 5min in a big ole blue station wagon, and I find myself sitting around a BBQ, cold Corona in hand with Jimbo sitting next to me. Happiness is....finally reaching your destination.

So I always try and follow the mindset that everything happens for a reason...the reason seldom being obvious or "reasonable" at the time. I nearly screamed when I missed my train to West Palm last night, Pat and I arrived on the scooter just in time to wave the train off.

While waiting on the station I met friendly Australian, apparently "Australians are awesome", and coindidently he is working on Deniki(the boat I was waiting to hear from). He told me abit about it and said that the position I'd applied for had been filled the previous day. Was nice to have company on the fairly long trip.

My train ride home at 7am was slightly less amusing, had a guy sitting opposite me eagerly telling me about the computer gaming site he works for and repeatedly showing me on his cellphone how to play the games, even though I made it completely clear that I was not into computer games nor chatting about computer games at 7 in the friggin morning!

While queueing at the grocerry store this eve, the young girl infront of me was having trouble carrying all her shopping bags and sleeping puppy. I offered to help her out, carrying stuff to her appartment just up the road. This was purely a selfish act, as I was desperately wanting to cuddle the crystal blue eyed, freckled faced Kiara, the sweetest, sleepiest little pitbull in the universe! Will catch up with Kiaras mum this weekend for a drink. The people here are all so friendly...I love that about this town...I also love that there are no fences around the houses, you can safely walk anywhere even at night, everyone recycles, there are palmtrees that are so green they look fake, our local grocer does 2for1 specials all the time, people drive slowly & when you cross the road cars actually stop for you, the constant hum of V8 engines...so much so much, I could keep going...

Recieved an email from Luxyachts today to say that the chief stewardess of Deniki had requested that they resend her my CV...so we'll see what comes of that...but have my first stint of "Day Work" tomorrow, excited to get onto a boat and get some experience!
