Hello everyone!
As we prepare to leave, most are feeling a mixture of excitement and nerves. There is so much we’re looking forward to: incredible new experiences, like SCUBA diving, snorkeling, and boating; learning more about the ocean in a hands-on environment; seeing everything we’ve been learning about in action (we can’t wait to see stoplight parrotfish, spotted eagle rays, and great barracudas!); and strengthening our friendships and making new ones. Some of these experiences, however, will be so new that they’re a little scary. Swimming with sharks, for example, may be a challenging one. Or early morning workouts with a former Navy SEAL.
Before we conquer our fears, however, we all need to pack. Packing is proving difficult; there are more than 40 items on the list! Trying to fit enough clothes for two weeks without laundry and leave enough room for seashells and souvenirs, while keeping it under 50 lbs is a tall order! Surprisingly, though, packing is proving to be a learning experience as we are getting to know some new products (Rash guards? Adult baby powder? Itch cream?! Oh my!)
It’s finally time! Woohoo!!! Make sure to check the blog for nightly updates, and we’ll see you all when we return in two weeks time!! Yippee!!
Annie and Aryeh
