Woke up in Miami and after a shower and some breakfast, made it downstairs just in time to catch a bus I almost missed! So about 4 hours and 2 buses later I finally get on the ship. Lotta waitin around! :-/ I get on board and sit through some boring meetings in the conference center and after I turn in some paperwork I find my room. Somehow luck is still on my side and I’ve got another porthole room! I believe these rooms are typically reserved for manager types. I’m frickin BEAT at this point, all the travel, the information overload, I get back and find my Movie 40-Year Old Virgin on and relax in my new bed. Phone finally rings, it’s Wes my Head Broadcast Tech. He asks me up to the broadcast room and I meet J****** and D*****, a Philipino and a Canadian. This is the first I’ve seen of the my new Broadcast Room, it’s neat and clean compared to the Explorer. Plus theres this cute lil Sony HD Cam in D*****’s hand! Oh it was sweet! I got my first chance to work with the camera about 20 minutes later covering Sail Away on the Pool Deck.
