The Final Countdown

Only 14 more days till I leave for the Bahamas! Flight leaves at 6am June 16th. I’ll be staying there for the night with other SAS students, none of whom I know but am very excited to meet! I will board the ship the next morning sometime after ten. I should be able to find free wifi while in the Bahamas but after we debark it’s only email. It takes about ten days to cross the ocean.

Wish me luck!
