“Can you write a guest blog for me please?” It sounded so simple, I thought. Just jot down some thoughts, make it funny, informative, and appealing, job done. Well, let me tell you, it’s not as easy as bloggers make it look! They say the hardest part about writing a story is in finding the beginning, because you have to decide what to write about, how you’re going to say it and where you want the tale to go; but for me, that was the easy part. Easy, because I’ve decided to tell you a tale from when I worked on cruise ships traveling the world, meeting interesting people and getting into all kinds of madcap trouble, but difficult because I not only have to protect the innocent by not revealing their names but, also have to decide exactly how honest to be about the guilty, or “me” as I’m also known… so here goes, and I hope you like it!

The Choice
Gemma found herself staring out the window at work, a little diner in Whitefish Montana, as she often did when she got distracted by the noise from the nearby Amtrak station. Listening closely, the hustle and bustle was just starting, which meant that the once daily passenger train to Seattle would be arriving soon, probably in about 90 minutes. A swift glance at the clock assured her that her guess was pretty accurate, meaning that a few soon-to-be-passengers would drop by for a quick bite to eat before boarding, something she’d often thought about doing herself, just jumping on the train, and seeing where it took her, but never having had the courage to actually do. Just as she had this thought, the bell above the door tinkled, and she found herself staring open-mouthed at the man who’d just walked in.
