Waking up to Cruise ship passing the vista

This morning the sound of people talking below woke me up at 5:30 or so. I got up just in time to see one of the four cruise ships coming into port today. Roatan is certainly becoming a destination place. REASON FOR moving quickly on the wedding industry here. I am working on the business AGAIN.. God don't I ever give up?? We have a gal name Tori she is American and is doing the bookkeeping, administration, and web work,when things get rolling here. Clint has been doing sales and is actually doing very well with it. He has made sure he is contacting hotels, resorts and more to get them to know we are available for the first Fresh Flower design company in the island. Not only fresh flowers but we want to do Chocolate dipped goodies, and great coffees. We don't need a location right now, the floral work will come first and we can do many events, weddings, hotels and more with out that store. But to have a nice place to visit and hang out here with that beauty behind it would be really interesting.

We have actually about four jobs lined up now! and I am working at the resort doing my Sales and Catering job selling the events, booking the events, regulating the events and designing the events. Its quite a job, and its not my passion. But it is helping me move in the direction I need to in order to make it happen here! I think it is going to be just fine and I finally found the right place to position myself.

Now If I can just manage the strange things that always happen on this Island!

We are excited about the possibilities here and happy to be here! is just incredible at times to be working right on the beach front with super white sand and crystal clear seas.

Today as I stated earlier we have four not two as normal or one, but four cruise ships coming in. I am going into work early because of my conference with the group I book from BASF. Executives from Central American division .Then work on another big bid for a group that is coming in Nov called Gesso. Its a gas corp. The cruisers will arrive at ten. I have to prepare and area for the group for lunch so they are private and have seats and food ahead of the crowd. But today would be wonderful to be able to get away and buy food and things I need. The HOUSE IS EMPTY NOTHING IN THE WORLD TO EAT PERIOD! its bare.

Very hard to get around when you don't have transportation. I keep saying that the truck I want is coming, it hasn't shown up yet! DANG IT I need a car so bad.. but at this time not enough money to make it happen. Three or more years with out a car, you think I would be use to it. I mean walking is fine I do a ton of it. But when you need to run across the island to buy food cause there is none here. It makes it really rough.

Ok Well progressing on the living situation, little by little its starting to look like someone who knows something about beauty lives here, the house is all blue inside, not pretty ugly washed blue over natural wood, We repainted the kitchen in a beautiful tourqose color with seats of bone and blue shell print at the bar, the living room is a disaster, scratchy sofas ugly fabric and just the style and form is uncomfortable. I NEED FURNITURE TOO! i DID HAVE this lady make slip covers but when we tried to use them they didn't fit and they were a brown color when I asked for bone or off white. So I have to call her and get her to take it back and remake it. SHE I M SURE WONT BE happy. I laughed when I saw they didn't fit and the color was weird. Pretty common in Central America! but hey maybe we will get it in the next 6 months after waiting three months for them.

Well just a quick post today have to run and get ready to work, fill my eyes with half naked people today hope some are pretty!
