Another Day at Sea

Journal #52 April 26, 2009

Today was the first day that I had absolutely nothing to do and was able to sleep in. Because I am so drained I slept in until 1pm and then went outside to lay out. It was really crowded out because the sun was shinning and it was hot out. Its about 80 degrees out and the wind was blowing. Today has been the most I have spent outside since Hawaii. Breathing in the fresh air made my mood a lot better.

I am starting to get sick :( A cold is going around on the ship which means of course I am going to get it. It hasn’t been bad but it just drains me. I think getting a lot of sleep last night really helped. The water is really smooth and royal blue today. Its very pretty. Ever since Hawaii the ship has been doing a drive to raise money for students who can not afford SAS. The first sea to get 100% is able to be 2nd off the ship in Ft. Lauderdale. I am happy to say the my sea, The Red Sea, is in first place and only needs 4 more people to donate. I really hope those 4 people hurry up because I would love to be 2nd off the ship!!! I think my family would love that to :)

Well I have realized in the past couple of days how fast this trip has come and gone. As of today we only have 10 days left. It feels like I just got on the ship a week ago and we were headed to Spain. This trip has changed my life in so many ways. I am grateful to my parents and my friends who have supported me through this time. It really does show who cares about you!! One more day and we are in Guatemala!! I am a little nervous because there have been travel advisories all over the country. I am not going to the really bad cities so I am sure I will be safe.

Love
