There's a spider in the shower!

My shower has one of those big shower heads, bigger than a dinner plate, lets say the size of a large pizza. So I'm enjoying a nice steamy shower, when a wood spider fell from the the shower onto my chest. Now I have two normal functioning arms, with normal hands and normal fingers capable of flicking any small object across the room. But no my first reaction, I wont use my perfectly normal fingers on my normal hands and on my normal arms to flick the spider off. No my first instinct is to body slam it against the wall. Now most showers I assume would have two normal solid walls and two glass walls including the door. I take aim at the clear glass door and boom. Let's just say as you all were out buying TV's and iPhones on the Boxing Day sales, I was buying a new shower screen door. Bargain central.

A guy is taking his girlfriend to prom. He waits in the ticket line for a really long time but gets them. He goes to rent a limo. The rental line is really long but he eventually does it. He goes to buy her flowers. The line at the florist is really long but eventually he gets the flowers. At prom, she asks him to go get punch. He goes to the refreshment table and there’s no punchline.

Never apologize for your giant dogs getting overexcited, if I get taken down by a 100 pound mass of fluff then that’s how I go.

Terror on the High Seas...maybe a little too dramatic

Terror on the High Seas…maybe a little too dramatic

Our ship was in the middle of the Hawaiian season, travelling through the islands and then five days straight at sea, one day in Ensenada Mexico and then four days back to the islands. Being shoppies,having worked 15 hours days for nine of the last ten days, the night before we docked back in Hawaii we let our hair down, and simply….got wasted.

It was five in the morning and we all got a call to…

Preparing to say goodbye to normality

Here I was, about to make a massive life change to work overseas, I don’t think the magnitude of what I did hit me til many years later. I was a “good” Italian boy that my mum wanted me to be a doctor or lawyer and to get married and start a family. But I wanted to do what I want. And I wanted to travel. I think I broke my mums heart…..

I was a bit naive. Once I had received my contract I needed to do a physical with the doctor. That’s all I was told. No form for the GP, no particular test I needed to do. My GP basically gave me a medical certificate that said I was healthy and “the change would be good for me”. I was naive.

Due to this being my first contract, I had to pay my own way to the Legend OTS in Honolulu. Fair enough. These were just before the days of booking international flights online, so I visited a flight centre and booked a 12 month return flight which ended up being cheaper than a one way ticket. I also organised to be in Hawaii a few days earlier, because…it’s Hawaii. 

So in mid December, as I said goodbye to my family and breaking my mums heart because this good Italian boy was not going to be with “The Family” for Christmas, I was off on my adventure!
