Communication Information
For Airmail:
The US post office recommends sending international airmail at least two weeks in advance; sending even earlier is preferred because mail service varies in each counry. Do not send currency. Sending packages is NOT recommended because of customs restrictions and/or duty charges (as a result, packages are not always received by the intended recipient onboard). The port aget in each country makes every possible effort to deliver mail to the ship or forward delayed mail to a future port, but cannot assume responsibility for undelivered or lost mail.

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 :)
