Day 108. My Last post aboard the Explorer. But not my last post ever :-)

Hey there

The entire ship was outside this evening at 7:50 when the sun finally set. On the three outside decks in the aft part of the ship, most of the community was there, clapping, singing and crying their eyes out.

I can't even begin to digest what is going through my (and my friends') minds right now. This entire voyage, from Nassau, to Spain, Morocco, Namibia, South Africa (!!), Mauritius, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Hawaii, Guatemala, Panama, The Ocean, The world. Nobody can believe we did it.

Convocation was this morning, and was full of great speeches and songs. It was extremely moving and sad, but so warm (just like our community). I was honored as a student leader and a 4.0 gpa-earner... which was pretty cool too.


I'm going to go enjoy my last night with my friends. Nobody is sleeping, everybody is just laying out on the deck, awaiting the first USA lights that come over the horizon in a few hours.

Stay tuned after the voyage ends and I'll post a bunch more post-voyage thoughs in the days to follow.



To you all. Thanks. You have taken a part in my Voyage, and I thank you for that. PLEASE contact me. Email me and let me know your connection to a program I now know and love.

Thanks as always. Talk to you from land, from US soil in a few hours!!!
