So it Begins

HII!!!!

SO, this is my official blog for the next couple months as I attempt to travel the world.

Pay Attention here...please :):

• I will have VERY limited internet access for the semester, BUT...the nice people at Semester at Sea give us an email address that we can use UNLIMITED (yay!)
• That email address IS: Stephanie.Lessans.s12@semesteratsea.org

PLEASE email me and keep in touch! I will also possible have internet if I find internet cafe's and things in certain countries...so you might hear from me unexpectedly at times :)!

I am sitting here in a hotel room in the Bahama's getting ready to board the MVexplorer in just a few short hours!!! Last night a lot of SAS (semester at sea) students all met up at a bar some of you Caribbean travelers might have heard of...Señor Frogs! It felt a lot like the beginning of YearCourse (the year I spent in Israel) and freshman year...lots of names, lots of hometowns, lots of basic interactions. Everyone seems really nice and the nice thing for me is that everyone seems to be looking for friends, so we're all in the same boat (literally...HA).

It might seem as if I am cutting myself off from the world for the next couple of months as my communication is going to be so limited...but I like to think of it as the opposite, I'm connecting with the world, just not the part where all my memories and experiences are from for a while.

Next post will be from the ship :)!
