BAHAMAS!

hey guys! i left for the airport at 3:30 this morning for my 5:30 flight. thanks dad! i had no problem checking in or getting through security. i arrived at the gate and Kim was there with her mom and her boyfriend. they were so nice and we started talking right away. there were also 2 other guys at the gate who were going on semester at sea, but i didnt talk to them until the layover in philly. i found out their names were shawn and dan. the flight was easy and i slept, and upon arriving at baggage claim, we were offered drinks (bahama mamas) and we couldnt turn it down. dan, kim and i shared a cap to the atlantis, where we checked into our rooms, changed and headed down to the lobby to meet up with two other girls, brenna and monica. everyone is so nice! we walked on the beach and then swam in the lazy river, before returning to our rooms for a nap:) we woke up at around 8:00 pm, got dressed and went to dinner. after dinner, there were hundreds of students in the lobby. it was very overwhelming. i cant wait to meet everyone but it was hard to do it all at once. so about 15 of us got into a taxi van and went to a local bar. since everyone was tired and we have to wake up early in the morning to get on the ship, we called it quits before midnight. so far i am having a great time and i am enjoying everyones company and cant wait to meet everyone else. i love you all and you are all in my thoughts.
