safely landed :)

ok no more planes until may 14th. I'M HERE! saying goodbye to mom and dave was really hard this morning, but at least i didn't go it alone. My friend Jordi sat next to me on the plane and we're sharing a room in the Atlantis Resort. The hotel room is very nice; we have a balcony with a view of beautiful palm trees, the pool, the beach, and the lazy river. We met up with a couple girls at the hotel and we kinda adopted this boy because he had no roommate yet, so he has done very well putting up with girly talk the whole time. we checked out the beach. it was so beautiful, I've never seen such blue water! All of the native are very nice, but sort of make me nervous because they're very pushy to try to get you to take a taxi somewhere, rent jetski's, braid your hair, and all of that. we just walked on the beach for a little, and i know i sound crazy, but it was getting a little cooler and so we didn't lay out on the beach. It got pretty cloudy and it started sprinkling a little. We went around the lazy river a few times in inner-tubes. The water was heated, it was definitely wonderful. After that we were so exhausted and decided it was nap time. Just got a few winks and we're going to go find some dinner in a little bit. We plan on taking a streatch hummer (i know my life is so terrible) limo to downtown to check out the local night life (ps- it's only $4 a person... the cheapest thing i've found on paradise island so far).
Well I board the ship tomorrow at 0800 hours. I'm going early with one of my new friend's, Brenna, hopefully to skip the hug lines. I miss you all so much! If you're interested in the detailed itinerary visit www.semesteratsea.com and click on spring 2007 voyage (i think you can get there quick by clicking on Desmond Tutu's picture) and the click itinerary. If you wish to send me some snail mail please pester my mother or my boyfriend dave for the addresses of the different ports. Next post I'll tell you all about Puerto Rico!

Love,
Kim
