Jean's Journal

Finally we are at sea as of last night. We were supposed to leave Nassau at 5:00 PM last night but didn’t get under way until 8:00PM. Everyone seemed to have trouble getting to the ship because of the weather on the east coast. Our flight was cancelled the day we were to leave San Diego. We were supposed to fly to Atlanta. We ended up flying to LA and then to Miami. Dave and I had to spend the night in Miami and then fly to Nassau the next day. All the rest of our group made it to Nassau the night before Dave and I. Their flight was cancelled too but they still made it to Nassau as scheduled. The students got on the ship yesterday. They are having orientation all day today. We had ours yesterday.
We are tired and are getting used to sea legs. We have already turned our clock back one hour. So we are now 4 hours later than SD time. Makes it hard to get up in the morning. Classes begin tomorrow. Today we start taking pills for malaria. Our internet time is sporadic. Never know when we will be able to get on or for how long. There are about 1000 people on this ship and only 50 people can be on the internet at the same time. That’s it for today.
