This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!

CRUISE last week

I don't know if any of you have been watching the news,but I was on the cruise ship [Holiday] that everyone got so sick on last week.Although I didn't get sick my brother-in- law ,nephew, mother-in-law and father-in-law did.The news was saying roughly 140 or so got sick.But it seemed a whole lot more than that were sick. Because many of the sick just stayed in there rooms because they felt to bad to move.Many of the staff were sick as well.When we were leaving mexico the ship had started pulling out of the dock area when we felt the ship moving backwards.We docked again and an ambulance came down the dock about 30 minutes later to remove one of the passengers who was to sick to continue.We knew something was contagious when we saw all the disinfecting the crew was doing.The whole ship had a slight clorox smell and whole sections were closed at times to be cleaned.

Connie said...: Gosh, Steve. I hate to hear that you had such a terrible experience on your cruise. What should have been a wonderful time turned out to be very sick time.

Yes, germs spread very quickly on ships. Lots of people in a contained area. Lots of opportunity for germs to fester and grow.

I hope everyone is feeling better now.; January 29, 2008 at 10:08:00 PM EST

Dr. J said...: So, what's the lesson here? Never go on a cruise? Good thing they didn't ask Jethro to do brain surgery. I've been sick in Mexico before and I'll tell you the story in class if you want. Now my idea of a vacation is driving to Jekyll Island or Panama City! I'm glad you are back and okay. People asked about you in class Monday night. You were missed. Dr. J.; January 30, 2008 at 6:29:00 PM EST

It cost me a letter grade in NTI, but my health wasn't in jeopardy; January 31, 2008 at 2:48:00 PM EST
