"I'll never let go Jack, I'll never let go."

So, recently I have made a list of movies that I should not watch before I set sail in just under a month. As you can probably guess, at the top of that list is "Titanic," followed closely by "Poseidon."

After returning to my hotel room tonight (I'm working a leadership conference in MO right now) I flip on the T.V. and lo and behold what movie do you think is just beginning? Yes, "Titanic."

Here I sit, two and a half hours later watching the boat sink (after I tried to make myself turn the channel multiple times and/or just go to bed.) Blasted. Looking at the bright side, I'm picking up some pointers on what to do/what not to do should anything happen. =)

A few weeks ago, a friend of mine suggested that I bring along a piece of plywood in case I need to float. I promptly told her that I didn't think the crew would appreciate it if I showed up on the first day with a 2x4 strapped to my backpack. Additionally, I said that I would probably take a life jacket instead.

It is highly unlikely that we have any thing like this to worry about, however, should something happen, you can rest assured that I went down happy since I was traveling the world and that I went down having said, "I'll never let go Jack, I'll never let go."
