Writing from "The Nation of Why Not"

I apologize for the delay in posting, I set off yesterday on a seven day cruise (we will be stopping at Labadee in Haiti and Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico) and didn’t have time to sign up for access to internet. I am on what is apparently the largest cruise ship in the world, also known as “The Nation of Why Not.”


The irony of being in an environment of extreme excess while writing about famine is not lost on me. Nor is the fact that I am writing this while in the vicinity of a 24-hour all-you-can-eat buffet.



Painful irony of the day (I think I am going to make this a daily series): Last night at dinner, my sister and I complained because the huge basket of bread is carried around by the assistant waiter instead of left at your table. “Why do we have to wait for him to come around to eat bread, we’re so hungry!!”

Logistical note: I am paying $0.50/minute for wi-fi so I may not be able to include as many links as I would like to. I’m going to do my best though.
