More you have to pay for your overweight luggage. Larrance and I flew out of Bangor on Thursday and for the first time ever in our lives together we had to check our bags. We both have a reasonable carry-on bag and a very unreasonable huge bag - when we weighed our bags they were both over weight. So we had to pay extra and then we had to wait for our checked luggage. That drove me crazy. Just standing there and waiting for the luggage to appear - BOO!
We had our first meeting at Second City with Beth on Thursday night. Beth gave us all the info we need to know about life on the ship.
The next day we had a photo shoot. They did extreme close up's of our faces for the marquee in front of the theater. The layout they use kind of looks like the Brandy Bunch. When they put it up, I'll get a photo.
On Friday, we started rehearsals with our director, Matt Hovde. Some of you may have met Matt before if you ever came to a Galileo Players show. He was my director for many years so it's been really great to get to work with him again. Rehearsals have been going well and it looks like the show will be funny and very ship appropriate. In short I get to play a mother pretending to be her teenage son and the Virgin Mary.
We've been seeing lots of our old friends. Andy, who's also going to be on our ship, and Becky, who's going to be on another ship, had a party on Friday night and it was lovely. They just bought a condo together so it was part housewarming/bon voyage/holiday extravanganza. We stayed way too late but we got to see lots of people we haven't seen in a long time.
We leave for the ship on Tuesday morning EARLY. So tomorrow we have our final run thrus with props.....and then we're off to meet the Pearl.
