Officially Set Sail!
Hey everyone! So it is my second day aboard the MV Explorer, and so far so good! I boarded the ship on 1-11-11 along with all the other students doing the work-study program. We have officially set sail in route to Dominica! Some families were gathered on the deck in the Bahamas waving goodbye to their loved ones as we set sail at 8:00 pm (or 2000 I guess haha). My roommates name is Becca, she is from Colorado and seems really sweet. It’s pretty windy and some are already falling ill from seasickness, I am staying strong, lets just hope I can remain strong! Haha I worked from 7am to 3pm today directing my fellow students where to go, was a long time to be standing but it was a good way to meet people. We have a full day of orientation tomorrow and have to set the clocks an hour ahead, first day at sea and already losing hours! I hope you all are doing well, stay posted!

Bahamas
Atlantis! |
Atlantis! |
Well it is now my final day in the Bahamas, I leave tomorrow to board the ship! It has been such an amazing time, filled with lots of sun, sand, and Bahama Mama drinks haha :) Tyler left today to catch his plane back to the states, it was great to have him with me for the few days! We went to Atlantis and spent a day there... it was AMAZING exceeded all expectations. Next time I'll have to stay there ;) We also went jet skiing! Which was a blast, I had never been on one before. I am nervous, excited and anxious to get on the boat and start my journey. There are a lot of people staying that the hotel that are going on Semester at Sea, I have met a few... hoping to meet more today and tonight! Missing everyone already!

Packing up!
Hello family, friends and followers, so tomorrow is the big day! I will be flying to the Bahamas and staying there for about a week with my boyfriend, Tyler. From there I will board the ship on 1-11-11 and set sail the following day. Words simply cannot express the excitement I feel. Below, I have listed my itinerary for the next four months. There is also a link to the Semester at Sea website so you can check out a world map and get a visual of where it is that I will be sailing to. It will be difficult to have much communication once I hit international waters, so if you want to keep up with what's going on with me, this blog will be the best way! I will miss you all but can't wait to come back with so many stories to share! This has been a dream of mine for years and it is a surreal feeling knowing that I am about to embark on the most amazing journey of my life. Stay tuned! :)
