Welcome
Aboard........A Metaphor
Greetings to the
passengers and crew of Spaceship Earth,
celebrating it's 100 billionth day of efficient
operations.
To
celebrate this momentous occasion, a cocktail
party will be held on the Lido deck at 4:00. We
know you have a number of options when cruising
and thank you for choosing Earth……again. Karra and
I will be your cruise directors for this current
itinerary and would also like to pass along a word
of welcome from our ship's captain, Sananda. He
wishes to inform you that while storms are
possibly expected, the bulk of the cruise will be
in fair weather and an enjoyable time is planned
for all.
A
number of seminars and events have been prepared
along the way and we encourage you to participate
in those you feel drawn to but you are also
welcome to spend the trip reading a good book.
This will be a transitional cruise without any
stops before reaching the 6th dimension as was
noted on your tickets at the time of embarkation.
This is not to say this trip will not have
excursions but they will be limited to those
passengers and crew with the ability to astral
travel. The planned lifeboat and emergency drills
have been canceled due to the short length of the
cruise………comparatively.
Our
activities director Omal, has
scheduled a seminar at 1:00 to take place on the
Promenade deck which focuses on what it takes to
operate Spaceship Earth. One of the topics to be
discussed are the various responsibilities of the
crew and how they keep this great ship running.
Several of them will join the seminar to explain
their roles on board. They include the ship's
communication director, the ship's doctor, the
chief steward and the chief engineer. As a special
treat, our celebrity chef will make an appearance
as will both Karra and myself.
Tuesday brings another special treat with a
seminar hosted by our captain who will be
presenting a slide show of an earlier cruise in
the Mediterranean he took. This seminar is not for
the weak of heart or impressionable children. Due
to his fame at the time, he had to travel under
the pseudonym of Jesus Christ which caused all
kinds of confusion with the locals when he
revealed who he really was. Suffice to say, future
cruises since then have been far more entertaining
for the passengers if not a bit chaotic for the
security personnel. Sananda will cap off the
seminar with a discussion on how reports of his
death were greatly exaggerated at the time. A
question and answer session to follow along with a
light lunch. Apparently, there has been some
confusion among a large number of the passengers
on whether he was on future cruises after that
one. He hopes if enough interest is shown, it will
lead to a series of seminars of a similar nature.
If in
the event you need to leave the cruise prior to
our destination, we encourage you to revisit the
ship and perhaps join as part of the crew if you
aren't already. We have a wonderful compensation
plan with work hours you set yourself. Please let
one of the concierge staff know of your intentions
and they will guide you to the acknowledgment you
have already been accepted.
Welcome to the
crew…..
With love and
light,
Russ & Karra.
