In addition to OVERSEAS BRATS my full-time employer, some of you are aware that I also serve as an independent contractor in the cruise industry as a guest lecturer for Royal Caribbean International (RCI).  RCI has me on contract to do a 14 night assignment, Nov. 19-Dec. 3 out of Baltimore on the Grandeur of the Seas for Bermuda and the Southern Caribbean ending up in Tampa.  RCI also has confirmed they want me for a 12 night Christmas/New Years assignment out of and back to Miami down to the Panama Canal on the Jewel of the Seas. Will address things TASA-related when I can, but please be patient!
