Yesterday was the beginning of my travels with Semester at Sea. The ship doesn't sail until Friday but my mom, sister and I decided to come down a few days early and enjoy some Bahamian hospitality. We left on an overnight flight from AZ and spent the next 9 hours en route to Nassau. It still hasn't hit me what I am about to embark on. The past few months have been a whirlwind of things; packing, paperwork, shots, financial aid, class equivalencies and working as much as possible. I never imagined I would be able to be apart of a program like this and am full of anticipation for what's in store. Hopefully through this blog I'll be able to share my travel experiences with all of you and keep everyone informed on what I'm up to.
Saying goodbye at the airport
Here are some pictures of my first day in Nassau. We got in around noon and just spent the day settling into the hotel room. We walked around downtown a bit but are planning on returning in the morning to explore some more. Audra and I had more than one group of Bahamians call us Charlie's Angels, we're still trying to figure that one out..
Home for the week, the El Greco Hotel.

And this was a t-shirt we found that I just knew my dad would LOVE!

I see that your putting the skills your learned from Dan to good use. I couldn't be more proud. I hope you have an awesome time at sea. I can't begin to tell you how jealous I am. I will be frequenting your blog probably more than the average person and living vicariously through your adventures. I know I am a creep. Arizona misses you! Can't wait to read more!

I actually like your haircut, you dingle berry. It's very Shannyn Sossamon-esque.
Anyways, try not dying while at sea. Also, tell my family in Japan I said Hello.
Love,
Michael
