Remember my friend Murphy and his law?…………well he is back again even at 30,000 feet. Here I am sitting on British Airways flight 240 from Miami to London Heathrow and the plane is full of……….FRENCH PEOPLE………hundreds of them including the man next to me…………typical….absolutely typical that something like this would happen.

Once the seat belt sign had been taken off I got this lap dancer computer out and thought I would start writing a blog thingy to you all. We just had a bit of turbulence and as the plane hit a pothole my French friends who seem to be dominating the seats around me let out various expressions of “Ooh La La” and the man next to me evening said something that sounded like “Sacrablur” what ever that means…………anyway Pierre is now doing something on his computer as well…….I hope he cannot read this………let’s make sure……….the man next to me smells of garlic and has a nosed the size of the Eiffel Tower …………….nope………guess he can’t.

The last four days have been a whirlwind of meetings and charging around Miami and last night I got to see ……….well……hang on and I will tell you all about that later. I must admit that I amore tired now than I was on the ship but they have been a productive four days. I had, as I mentioned in the last blog a meeting about Carnival’s future plans plus a meeting about the bloggers cruise ………oh, did you enjoy the video? We will be posting more video clips soon as well. I also got to see all the folks in the entertainment office in Miami and we held a barbecue at Roger Blum’s house which was excellent even though he forced us to eat with plastic knife and forks.

I was not built for heat……..especially wearing a woolen blazer and long heavy tousers. However, this is what I have just taken off having spent a day sweating in the sultry heat in Miami…………..it was not a good day to be my underwear.

So, good afternoon everyone and my apologies for the delay in writing but the last 48 hours have been a blur of meetings, more meetings and lots of handshaking and back slapping as I met old and new friends here at our Miami head office.
First of all let me ask if anyone has a cure for jet lag as since I arrived my head feels like Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton have just held a 24 hour drinking party in it and they are still there now and I think they have just opened another vat of wine…………I hate jet lag, not only the persistent headache but also the other effects it has on the body……….i will explain more later.
