I väntan på ordningen
Det finns en jättehäftig båt i Long beach, det är den största passagerarbåten i världen efter Titanic. Den ligger och guppar vid hamnen i Long beach. En riktig turistattraktion minsann. Jag har hört att det spökas på den båten, så man kanske kan spendera Halloween där? Det säljs Halloween-grejer överallt i USA nu, REDAN liksom, gör det det i Sverige med?
Som sagt, så fort vi får ordning på flyttningen blir allt bättre och trevligare. Tills vidare kan ni ju alltid läsa om skeppet Queen Mary här nedan!
Jag har faktiskt skickat in mitt CV till hotellet på det skeppet. Fast det
är nog mycket populärt att jobba där och stor konkurrans.

RMS Queen Mary is a retired ocean liner that sailed the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for the Cunard Line (then Cunard-White Star when the vessel entered service). Built by John Brown and Company, Clydebank, Scotland, she was designed to be the first of Cunard's planned two-ship weekly express service from Southampton to Cherbourg to New York, in answer to the mainland European superliners of the late 1920s and early 1930s. After their release from World War II troop transport duties, Queen Mary and her running mate RMS Queen Elizabeth commenced this two-ship service and continued it for two decades until Queen Mary's retirement in 1967. The ship is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is permanently berthed in Long Beach, California serving as a museum ship and hotel. Queen Mary celebrated the 70th anniversary of her launch in both Clydebank and Long Beach during 2004, and the 70th anniversary of her maiden voyage in 2006. She was the flagship of the Cunard Line from 1936 until 1945 when she was replaced in this role by Queen Elizabeth.
