Bahamas

So I’m now on the ship. The Bahamas was BEAUTIFUL!! The Atlantis Resort was GORGEOUS! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything more beautiful and tropical. The water was extremely blue and the sand was pretty much white. Atlantis had so much stuff to do, from walking through the Marketplace (which had stores, starbucks, jamba juice, and other restaurants), to going down their multiple slides, to laying in the sun, and a TON of aquariums full of fish and sharks and other wildlife found in the sea. The weather wasn’t the greatest, except for Tuesday, which was gorgeous.

The ship is beautiful as well. On Thursday, after waiting in a 3 hour line, we were able to board the ship and move in. It was such a rush and the ship is amazing! It doesn’t feel like I’m going to school here. We left Bahamas on 5pm that day and should be in Puerto Rico in I think 3 days. The ship moves like no other. I’ve been kinda seasick. No throwing up, but definitely have to lay down a lot because of the headaches I’ve been getting.

I don’t really have that much to report now. I haven’t met a ton of people because I’ve been in my room a lot resting, trying to get used to this, and making sure I don’t throw up. My roommate in the Bahamas was way awesome and I wish I spent more time with her on the ship, but this thing is so big it’s impossible to find people. My roommate here on the ship is also pretty cool.

I miss EVERYONE at home!! But this adventure is already turning out to be amazing. I just can’t wait to start classes and stop in the ports. I’m not looking forward to when we get closer to South Africa because I guess the water is ridiculously rough and right now we’re in rough water.

I don’t have any pictures to show you because I don’t have any way of getting them to a computer right now. But hopefully I will get some soon. Well the boat is really rocking and I just got done with dinner so I think I’m going to lay down for a while.

Love you all!
