One month away...

So my trip is just a little over a month away, and I am so excited! I know this is going to be an adventure that is going to turn my world upsidedown and make me see everything in a totally new way. I am going to make some new friends, have new experiences, try new food, and have the greatest time of my life. I really want to thank everyone who made this trip possible for me (cue Academy Award speech). My parents and grandparents have helped me so much with every aspect of this trip, and I thank them so much for giving me the chance to take the trip of a lifetime.
With that being said, here is my trip itinerary for the next semester!!!! I leave San Diego at 10am on January 17th, and I take a shuttle to Ensenada, Mexico. This is where I board the ship, then from there we set sail and head on to...

Here is the link to the page of the SAS website with all of the addresses where I can receive mail: www.semesteratsea.org/voyages/spring-2010/spring-2010-staying-in-touch.php
Only send letters if you want to write, as packages tend to get lost or not let on the ship for security reasons.
That is all for now, I will post more later!
