Guten Morgen! They don't speak German here, but I have been working on learning German (my boyfriend speaks German). Slow going, but it's starting to sink in. I have also been working on my PADI Open Water Diver certification - so I can scuba dive! I am just doing the book work (which you can do online) and then when we get to St Maarten, Kris (one of the cast members who is doing it with me) and I are going to do our closed pool and open water dive training together. I'm really excited! I have wanted to be certified for years - actually the first time I worked on a ship 20 years ago. So now I am finally doing it - I will keep you posted. Today marks day 22 of working out in a row. I made a goal to workout everyday for the month of February (I actually started 3 days earlier). So far, so good! I am determined to get back into physical shape - feeling strong again. What better way to motivate than to set a goal! It's working :) Our show tonight is a group cabaret - each of us performers is going to perform 2 songs with the band. In the past, we have used tracks and maybe the band for a couple of numbers (because the pianist doesn't read well and it takes a long time to learn songs), but this time, we decided to sing songs they already know. I will be singing 'The Lady Is A Tramp' and 'I'll Be Seeing You'.
