Its been a crazy two weeks! We were supposed to stop in busan on the 27th and sign on and off a lot of crew but there was a big typhoon and we didn't make it there.

The great thing about not making it to this port meant that all my friends that were supposed to leave me got to stay for Russia! It was such a great surprise to have them all around for longer. But im sorry to say today is the l...

So as grateful as I am to be on this amazing adventure it still has its disadvantages. Today was just one of those days that I wish I could have back . I missed something so important to me. My most wonderful friend in the entire world become a mommy today! Even though she has a wonderful husband by her side and she didn't really need me there it still makes me so sad that I couldn't be there for her they way she has always been there for me.
