It is probably obvious by now, but in case you didn't know, I am currently taking part in Semester at Sea Spring 2007; the voyage of a lifetime. I will be sailing around the world for 100 days, stopping in 10 different countries. I would love you to join me as I circle the globe.

AMAZING!!

Today we started classes again and it’s so hard to get back into the swing of things. Its like being on vacation every other week in a new place, then by the time you get back into a routine, its another week of vacation in another new place. And the clock keeps changing and we keep losing sleep. The last 2 nights have been so rocky. Most of the time it has been hard to believe we are on a ship. Until you look out the window and see how beautiful it is and that there is no land anywhere around you no matter how far you look. I know I am writing sporadically right now, but that is how I am thinking. It is just so incredible to be on a ship going around the world at 20 miles per hour. It really is. I am so lucky it’s hard to believe it. I have been waiting for this and looking forward to this for so long, it is still hard to believe that it is here. It really is amazing!

I'm soo excited to see new pictures up! I can't believe you went to Brazil and then South Africa! Reading about the time changes and how often you feel teased about being on vacation, then it abruptly being taken away is horrible! Here i was thinking it wouldn't be hard at all to concentrate there. I'm so happy to have heard from you. I'm happy you are doing well and you look amazing in your pics!Anyways just wanted to say hi. Muah! Careful out there.

I am so frustrated! Tova and I tried your phone a million times; was it working? I wanted to check to see if you got a package (even though they said not to, I tried sending one!) I read that there really was not free internet in Mauritius! Hope you had a relaxing time and can contact us in some way soon; your mother worries about you... Love ya!
