i've never been a big journaler, so to say...and definitely have never gotten into the whole "blogging" thing. but my buddy amy (who's studying abroad this semester in spain) just told me that my other bud snapp started a blog (and she's in costa rica), so i figured i should do the same. so many memories and events occur while abroad, it's almost impossible to remember every little detail i'm sure! so here it goes, hopefully i stay motivated enough to keep up with this, and that the ship doesn't limit our internet minutes too much (which i know it will).
nassau, bahamas
san juan, puerto rico
salvador, brazil
capetown, south africa
port louis, mauritius
chennai, india
penang, malaysia
ho chi minh city, vietnam
hong kong
shanghai, china
kobe, japan
honolulu, hawaii
puntarenas, costa rica

setting up the blog.
i leave for the bahamas on january 22nd! it's nuts. i get to spend a day frolicking on the premises of the famous atlantis hotel (it's all about getting a base tan and the sweet water slides), and i'll even have a rando roomie that night. then the next day we set sail on the MV Explorer and head off to puerto rico- wahoo! so far i'm most excited for a 3-day safari i have pre-booked for south africa. we are staying in a tree lodge! and i totally wanna see a liger on my safari. hells yeah. i am really hoping for trips that i can book *hopefully* during my voyage: rio in brazil (we hit brazil at the end of carnaval so it'll be outrageous), dehli/varanasi in india (bollywood, the TAJ MAHAL, and seeing the sacred rituals that happen in the ganges river), and the cambodia trip. i have my fingers crossed.
i've been asked a lot about whether i regret the decision of not finishing my last semester at my home school. i love CU and i'm gonna miss it a lot, but i'll be back in boulder in may. the way i look at it, i simply am finishing out my undergrad career in a big way, goin out with a bang! so hopefully the next time i write i will be chillin by the pool on the upper deck of the booooaaattt. i miss everyone already!
