Two months ago I began this blog with a post titled, Learning to Walk. Since that date it has been a full sprint of traveling as we crossed the Atlantic twice, passed through the Straits of Gibraltar twice, and made a complete lap of the Mediterranean. During the course of our voyage we have visited 7 countries and 3 continents. Tomorrow morning we will arrive back in the United States and step off the gangway of the MV Explorer one final time. Our bags have been stowed in the cargo hold and the customs forms are completed. My plan is to wake up for sunrise around 530am and watch us come into our final port. This trip has exceeded any expectations I could have possibly had when I embarked in Freeport and though I have accumulated infinite pictures and stories, nothing will compare to the memories of a summer spent traveling the world on Semester at Sea. I will miss all my friends that I have made aboard the ship but am also looking forward to transitioning back into life in Charleston. I know that a great fall awaits me, and certainly a fun SAS reunion trip is in order over the holidays.
