🚢✨ Funemployment: Blue Ocean Cruising With Sarah And Ed
Ed Reif & Sarah Kennedy's Funemployment at Sea
From Luxury Liners to Life Lessons
Chapter 1: Anchors Aweigh
Ed and Sarah didn't retire — they re-wired. They packed their bags, boarded cruise ships, and set out to work and live globally, becoming citizens of the ocean. Their journey began aboard the Queen Mary 2, sailing from Hong Kong to Southampton. The thrill of movement and the call of faraway ports replaced traditional routines.
Chapter 2: Los Angeles to London in 110 Days
Their biggest adventure? A 110-day voyage that carried them from the port of Los Angeles through the South Pacific, into Asia, along the African coast, and finally to Dover, England. Every stop was a new classroom — from the Society Islands to Mauritius, every moment was lived with wide-eyed wonder.

Chapter 3: The Art of Funemployment
Funemployment wasn't about not working; it was about meaningful work. Ed served as a Cruise Director, blending storytelling with hospitality. Sarah, a Family Medicine Nurse, focused on caring for the crew and passengers, bringing comfort and compassion to every corner of the ship. Together, they taught classes, led excursions, and spread joy on the high seas.

Chapter 4: The Spirit of Aloha
Before the ocean, there was Hawaii, where the Aloha spirit shaped Ed's worldview—time slowed, presence deepened, and wisdom unfolded beneath banyan trees.

Chapter 5: Always Forward
Years later, Ed and Sarah return to the sea aboard the Queen Mary 2—this time as guests of Dr. Bart, whom theyw roked with on many contracts together, savoring nostalgia with every wave

Chapter 6: Living the Story
With ports in every hemisphere and stories behind every smile, Ed and Sarah turned life into a living storybook. Their blog, Hotel @nyware, captured not just where they were — but who they were becoming. From the winds of the South Pacific to the shores of Europe, their story was constantly evolving. Sarah has Ed beat with over 12 years at sea, but their greatest voyage began when they met aboard the ship. Because in the end, the best ships are friendships—and theirs has sailed across every horizon.
