Just Left....

Hello landlubbers

We JUST left Nassau, Bahamas! I cannot believe that this is finally happening after planning this since August.. I showed up the boat with 4 HUGE bags and everyone was laughing haha I am the worst packer in the world and I did not leave one thing behind. Whatever, when I am rounding the bottom of Africa I won'y be saying "Damn, I wish I brought that black patent leather belt.." OH, CAUSE I DID!! :)

I had my first meal on the ship and it was not half bad. Of course I was the big loser who had to go to the "Vegetarian" section and pick up the lettuce and hummus wrap.. but it was fabulous!!!

In eight days I will arrive in Cadiz, Spain.

It's insane how open everyone is to meeting people. I have already met a couple people are going to be my solids for the trip. We all booked the same flight from port in Spain to Madrid. I hear Madrid is an amazing city so I definitely cannot wait to cross the Atlantic already!

Classes don't start until Wednesday so we are just doing a lot of orientation things for the start. A couple hours ago we had to dress in warm clothing and do a practice safety boat drill. They sounded the alarm, and we had to stand outside with our vests. I am lifeboat A1, so I named our clusted of 150 A1 Steaksauce, only the strong survive.

Just saw my Dad and Sister as we were leaving and I remember turning to my friend and saying, this is crazy, I am having a moment.

Ta ta for now.

P.s. The boat is rocking like CRAZY!!
