Keep in touch!!!

I will be updating this blog frequently. I will also email as often as I can, but I will have very limited Internet time while at sea. Please do not feel sad if I do not get right back to your emails, I will try to get to them as soon as I can. I will also be sending post cards as often as I can, but I can't do that without your addresses, so send me an email and let me know where to send a post card.

For those of you that are interested in sending me letters while I am abroad, I have listed my addresses below. The heading includes whichever port it is and the date that you should send it by. All letters should be sent via airmail (go to the post office and they will help you). Semester at Sea recommends that you not send large packages because of the difficulty with customs in various countries. They also suggest that you not send currency, but if you want to take the risk, I don't mind!!! :)
