First of all, this I am still getting used to this blog website, and it turns out since I already had an album titled "Nassau, Bahamas" It joined my photos together with some photos from 12 years ago on Semester at Sea, so my apologies if you got any weird notifications about an album about Semester at Sea. I was trying to rearrange the photos. So, to the fun stuff....We arrived in port today, and again left our curtains open, so were greeted with the bright Bah...

Well, I knew it. I slept so well last night that I slept through my first class this morning! But at least I wasn't alone. My roommate did as well.

The rooms are small, but actually much bigger than I expected. I got a lot of drawer and closet space. (Thank good...

Hey everybody!! I made it to the Bahamas in one piece. I only had to endure a 4 1/2 hour flight to Newark then another 2 1/2 hour flight to Nassau. That one was fun full of screaming babies and kids kickin my seat. Anyways. I got here about 12:00 pm Nassau time.
