Trips.. Trips.. and More Trips!

After a few days of clouds the sun finally came out this afternoon. After lunch I decided to go outside and read for my next class. Of course I felt my skin burning in just about 10 minutes so I had to move to the shade. I also realized that there is a 24 hour coffee service, but you just need your own mug. I will be investing in one shortly so I can have iced coffees. Surprisingly, the coffee on board isn’t bad so I’ll enjoy it. I think I’ve been going withdrawal especially since I drank like 4 iced coffees a day at home. Dinner is the same old same old practically every day. After dinner I sat outside by the pool for awhile and relaxed. 8pm was a meeting for students to find out what everyone else is doing in the first port Cadiz. I went because I only had the first day planned. My friend Katie and I are joining up with another group of 5 to go to Seville and Granada. Hopefully it works out. Oh and we’ll go to the bar the night we get there to see Spain play Belgium, the group all seem interested. It should be a good time. I don’t know really anything about Spain so I’m just going to go with the flow and see where it takes me. If I knew that they would have these sessions I would have left some days open for independent travel. I have a few days here and there, but not too many. I think it will eventually balance out. We had a pre-sale for the trips we wanted in majority of the countries and I got all of the ones I picked so, I’m pretty excited about that. Some things I am doing are: doing adventures, parks, and beaches in Mauritius, Ghana I’ll be doing a Habitat for Humanity, South Africa I’ll be doing City Orientation and Cape Peninsula. I’ll go into more detail when they come closer. Many of the other things I have planned are going to be done independently such as for India the Taj Mahal & Varanasi, Sleeping on the Great Wall of China, Safari in Capetown, and most likely Great White shark cage diving in South Africa. The rest of the days are either free or I have an FDP which is usually a trip required by a professor. The next presale won’t occur for a couple weeks so I have time to figure it out. That pre-sale will cover Vietnam, China, Japan, and Hawaii. Some of which I’m interested in doing independently. Well, I think that’s about it for now. Aladdin is on the movie channel so, I’m going to watch that with a few friends and relax for the night. SPAIN in 3 DAYS!

 

PS. Thanks to everyone who has been following along, the posts will get more interesting once I start getting into ports!
