First Things First

January 9, 2011 (Day 1)

I can’t believe that today is the day that I leave the U.S. for the first time, and one step closer to beginning my voyage to Semester at Sea. I only slept for about 4 hours last night and my mom/dad took me to the airport. Once I got on the plane, I noticed Kelly sitting in a seat to the left in first class. Kelly and I have talked a few times before on Facebook because she’s doing SAS too and is from St. Louis. When we got to Atlanta, Kelly and I found Eric, one of my roommates that I will be staying with at the Towne hotel in Nassau. I’m not sure what we’ll be doing tonight but I’m planning on having fun. It’s funny because I started to recognize people at the airport from Facebook. One of the initial things that I’ve noticed about Nassau is that everybody is black and they drive on the left side of the street.
