Its all over! My six month stint aboard the worlds most famous ship has come to an end. It was a great experience and something that I will never forget. The places I have seen and the people I have met where amazing.
I'm back home now enjoying not having to work everyday and looking through all the pictures I have taken. However I'm not here for long as I move on to my new job at the start of the new year. It seems my traveling days are far from over . . . Arkansas or bust!

The End is Near
Well after traveling the seas for the last few months my time is almost up, as is the QE2's. Later tonight we will embark on the historic final voyage of the 'last great ocean liner.'
Coming into port early this morning high winds caused the ship to drift off course and get stuck in a sand bar. A 30 minute delay that required five tug boats to pull us out. Some say its the ships way of saying that it knows its on its final leg.
Later this evening will be a grand celebration as we set sail for the final time from our home port. Scottish guard band, fireworks, and a live broadcast from the captain will culminate into a farewell worthy of a great ship.
I will be out front on the decks of the ship with most of the crew waving goodbye to Southampton as the thousands of people shore side take one last look at the ship.
If time permits I will try and post once more from Dubai airport. My flight is direct to JFK and although it is 14 hours long because of the time difference I leave at 2am and arrive 730am in NY.
Time to set sail once more, but this time on a one way trip. Wish me luck!
See everyone soon.
