Ring out the old, ring in the new………………

Well folks, its that time of year again – New Years Eve. Tonight I shall be attending a Pyjama Party at a friends house which I am looking forward to immensely, but not the bad head that will surely follow tomorrow!
I always get a bit nostalgic on New Years Eve, and as I look back over the past twelve months I can’t believe how quickly it has flown and I can’t believe all the things I’ve done.
I am so lucky to have such a wonderful job that gives me the opportunity to get to know some wonderful people, experience so many new things and travel to such wonderful places. This year alone I have travelled to Bruges, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary and Dubai, and I have experienced five new ships – new to me – MSC Opera, Oceania Insignia, Royal Caribbean Brilliance of the Seas, Avalon Tapestry and the P&O Arcadia, all of which were delightful in their own special way.
On a personal note, my daughter turned 21, and my middle son turned 18 and passed his A levels. In 2012 my youngest son will turn 17 and will start to drive – he can hardly wait!
I hope all of you have had a good 2011 – I know many of you have as I speak to you regularly, and I wish all of you the very best for the year ahead. Lets hope its a good one. Good health and happiness for us all.
