Rolling with the punches...

I have to tell you, there have been several times when I've been about to post my plans for the near future.

There some jobs lined up, then personal stuff that took priority, then other jobs that fit around those, then a couple of other things...

I was waiting for everything to settle and then post it all...

Then, last week, while I was in Vegas on Monday morning I got a call about a great gig I've nearly done two or three times before.

It was a bit of a tough decision, because I'd have to find a way to work around the personal stuff I'd already moved heaven and earth to accomodate. It seems it will all be able to work, though, and so...

When we close here on Sunday afternoon, I'll drive straight to Kansas. Leaving here at 4:30pm mountain time, arriving at my parents' house at about that time in the a.m. central time. A couple of hours of sleep, then a day with the fam, a night's rest, then a flight to Florida to begin rehearsals to join the RSSC Voyager as it travels to... the Canary Islands, Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Portugal, England, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Finland, Germany, and the Netherlands. I'll be on the ship starting in late April, heading across the Atlantic to the Canary Islands. I'll be onboard until late October. It's quite the gig, certainly not your typical cruiseship entertainment, and some of it will in fact be quite challenging. I'll be able to put away some money and will get to travel to some AMAZING places.

So, wish me luck and bon voyage... there will be a lot of photos and blog updates during the cruise, I guarantee.

My challenge now? Finalizing a Christmas gig before I leave the country.

By the way, to the MANY of you who helped me with a recent project, in January, if I haven't already been back in touch... thanks very much. Things are good.
