Travel days are rarely fun...

Today the ship docked in St. Thomas. I was invited by Mark Simmons (the other comic) and Edge (Comedic Juggler) to take a gondola up the mountain and have a few Bushwhackers. Since I like mountains and had no idea what a Bushwhacker was I said yes.


The price of a ticket for the tourists is $21, the price for crew is $5. As a Fly On Entertainer when i leave the ship I turn in my crew ID to the administration office and get my passport back. Edge has been working the cruise ships for 10 years and has always got the discount by showing his name tag. On this day the woman behind the plexiglass decided that wasn’t good enough and started to give Edge some attitude. A rather loud argument ensued & I get the feeling she won’t be working there tomorrow. Not that it helped, we didn’t get to the mountain top and I still don’t know what a Bushwhacker is.



If you want to know where the best pizza on the Island of St. Thomas is, it can be found at Pizza Amore. Right across the street from where the Carnival Cruise ships park. So good.




My flight from St. Thomas to San Juan Puerto Rico was on time. The flight from Puerto Rico to Tampa was delayed by 3 hours, then one we got on board we had mechanical issues and sat in the plane for another hour. Waiting in that 757 all I could think about was... What the hell is a Bushwhacker?
