Changes

SAS took a week off of our trip.....hopefully that means the price will be reduced because its partly based on fuel cost and quantity used. No more Honolulu for me : ( and we leave earlier in January as well.....oh well

The Countdown Begins!

Less than a year from now we'll be setting sail! Destination: the WORLD!
Its so exciting to see more and more SAS'ers be accepted into the Spring 2011 program! Its going to be amazing!

A New Start

It's a new beginning, a new decade, and the perfect time for change. Do something you've never done before. Meet new people. Explore the world around you and live every single day to its fullest potential. There's a huge world out there and it needs to be appreciated, taken care of and loved. Make this year the best yet by starting now. Be positive, be yourself, and take time to enjoy the simplest pleasures in life. Explore. Dream. Discover.

392 days until SAS Spring '11

100th Voyage

Link: Arrival of the MV Explorer in San Diego. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LhgebwTOKk

The MV Explorer arrived in San Diego, California completing its historic 100th voyage. It must have been quite a spectacular time for students and parents alike. I can't wait to be one of them...though I'm looking forward to boarding the ship...not the leaving part! Here are some views of the ship in San Diego. I happened to run across them when I followed a link on the SAS facebook page. It's so pretty at night!

Economy

UPDATE: I emailed SAS back confirming that I was indeed a flexible person and agreed to the terms regarding economy cabins. It felt very official. It's going to be cozy! :) I also heard economy cabins are good because they are REALLY dark.
A family friend told me that when she went on SAS, she was in an economy cabin next to the boiler room and something went wrong....so she had to be upgraded! That's rough...haha

I received an email a few days ago regarding economy cabins. They sent some pictures of what the rooms may look like. hmmm....

Working on the MV Explorer

Today I found out that I will be able to apply for work study! I think I'm going to apply for the campus bookstore. Work study involves working on the ship for 2 hours each day while at sea and in port, you don't work! How cool is that? You get around $4000 if you are accepted. I think it would be really fun! Oh and you have to arrive a few days earlier than the rest of the students...I'm down with staying a few extra days in Nassau! =)

First Snail Mail from SAS!

Today I got my first packet of information from SAS!...but it was about being admitted into the program and paying the deposit. Guess I'm ahead of the game! Oh and it also came with a CD! Can't wait to watch it!

Im freaking out about college costs in general....I feel like I'm going to be living in a cardboard box after college attempting to pay off all my loans and whatnot...oh well.

SAS I need you, I want you, I LOVE you!...and Im still 415 days away...I'm not counting or anything ;)
