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!
I'm so excited for you and hope you're roommate ends up being fun! I hope you're having an amazing time! Mia told me about you pictures of Facebook so I made an exception and looks like the Bahamas were a blast!!! Missing you like crazy!! Best of luck with you first voyage and don't let all your fun adventures distract you from school too much :) love you! can't wait for more pictures and updates <3
