Puerto Rico!
Oh my gosh. I am the absolute worstttt. I have been soo0o busy and the internet is ALWAYS clogged up... but here I am! Im trying. So please Bare with me!!! I am going to post some pictures of Puerto Rico and tell you little bit about my stay at another time in more detail. Overall I am having an amazing, AMAZING time...everyone is so outgoing and willing to talk with everyone else. My classes are SO interesting. My Teachers Rocky, Monty and Jim (and yes we can call them by their first name) are all AWESOME. They have resumes that take about 30 minutes to spew. Their resume's consist of all the things that you don't think are possible in life. Ill leave that for another time. All i can say is: UNBELIEVABLE. The boat is all first class. I have a steward named Kenton, he is the BEST! Vaccuums, makes my bed, gives me clean towels EVERYDAY. Waitress service at dinner. Its very odd not to bring my plate to AT LEAST the sink eh mom? Anyway. Im going to go to sleep now but here are some pictures that should make you jealous. =) Love you all im sure. mwa mwa mwa. Good Night.
Greetings From Brasil!
Yes Brasil with an 'S' thats how they spell it down here. =)
Im doing sooo well! Been on the boat for eight days straight now so everyone is getting a little stir crazy, but we will be approaching Salvador at approximately 0800 hours! So awesome. Im having a very great timeee...Everyone is so nice and just wanting to get to know everyone else so its really cool to be surrounded by so many outgoing people who are interested in the same things that I am. I am going to be going to a town called Lencois...Dont know how to pronounce that one, but I know that it is a six hour bus ride inland from Salvador. Ai! I will be posting pictures of that later on but I have been missing from everyone so I figured while I was awake I would do some updating. =) talk to everyone soon. Carnavallll!!! woohoo.. Im very excited =)

Hellooo everyone! I'm going to use this travel blog to keep you updated on my whereabouts around the world this spring. I'm leaving in 5 hours and counting to go down to the Bahamas with Mr. Donald, but we're not boarding the ship until early in the morning on the 4th.
If you dont know already...I'll be cruising around the world for 100 days! yes, i am a little crazy but it's an amazing opportunity and will certainly be a astronomical experience that i hope to be able to express to you through my words. (we'll see) I hope you enjoy reading about what I'm up to!
***Use the toolbar to the left to get to my photo albums and journal entries. Each journal entry is listed separately, so you have to use the toolbar to click on the different dates. I hope that makes sense! Since my internet time is limited, I probably won't be able to get too many posts up, but I will try to at least post after every country.
Here's the countries I'm visiting: Puerto Rico, Brazil, South Africa, Mauritius, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, China, Japan...and then one day in Hawaii :)
