Who is Emily?????

It took a few weeks to get my gear onboard the Celebrity Eclipse.  There tends to always be some kind of hold up, damages or delay with shipping my “emotional baggage”

I don’t even stress about it anymore.  My mainstage show goes in my carry-on and the rest can arrive when it arrives.  It’s the only way conquer the stress.  Easy. Simple. Reliable.

I pack like 4 hours of material in a very small…

IT FINALLY ARRIVED!

So a couple weeks back I was mentioning that my gear didn’t arrive.

Well, it’s hear now and I’ve got some work to do.  It’s a rocky sea day and I set off to the backstage area to setup my emotional baggage (big illusions)  There are only two illusions with me right now, even though I own a ton of them.  The reason of course is that the company who shipped them last time damaged them and there is…

YOU TRAVEL WITH THAT !?!?!

YOU TRAVEL WITH THAT !?!?!

After spending a few days on the newest ship in Norwegian Cruise Line’s fleet, the Norwegian Escape– I spent the evening at a hotel in Miami for good nights rest before boarding the Celebrity Eclipse.

I’m a “resident” on the Celebrity Eclipse and that means my show is installed on there and I’m a permanent fixture of the ships entertainment line up for a few months.

I COULDN'T CHECK-IN, SO I BOUGHT THIS....

I COULDN’T CHECK-IN, SO I BOUGHT THIS….

After a few days of some crazy travel (three flights, two days and three hours sleep) I made it to Tortola, safe and sound.

It’s significantly warmer in Tortola, then in Toronto.  That’s a given.  Thankfully I get two days to recover from the travel– but my guest entertainer friend who also boarded (and had an even crazier travel schedule than I) had to perform that night.

It’s a coin toss, in…

IT'S WAYYYYY TO EARLY FOR THIS!

IT’S WAYYYYY TO EARLY FOR THIS!

So, I’m sitting at home in my PJ’s enjoying my coffee.  Coffee is sacred to me lol– I am a Bulletproof Coffee guy.  It’s about 11:30am.

I am a morning person, I like mornings and I’m WWAAAYYY more productive in the mornings.  Travel days knock you out, so I think I slept in until about 8:30 and was lounging in my harem.

My agent phones and asks if I can be on a plane out of Toronto by 5pm.

It…

First Class COULDN'T ESCAPE it... either!

First Class COULDN’T ESCAPE it… either!

I leave Barbados every other Sunday.  It’s a busy busy busy airport on Sundays, flying back to arctic Toronto the day before the start of a week.

I travel a lot– I can’t imagine a day of travel like that and then starting 9am the next morning and being on the game.  Travel takes a lot out of you.  The recycled air and NEWLY recycled air, that’s one of the worst parts :p Watch the video and read…

Some days are harder than others.

I travel a lot. Almost 300 days year and it’s been like that my entire adult life. It’s complicated. There is always something positive to look forward– no matter what the situation. And yet as much as you keep your head up, there are days it can be difficult.

You just gotta push through it.

That’s what we do.

  IT’S COMPLICATED. Some days are harder than others. I travel a lot. Almost 300 days year and it's been like that my entire adult life.

Dude, where's my gear?

Dude, where’s my gear?

In order to make an 8:20 flight I’ve got to hit the road at 4:30am to get to Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) in time for my flight to Miami.

I am joining the Celebrity Eclipse out of the Port of Miami for a week long adventures of their two-week cruise. I’ll be bouncing around every week from now until May.
