Embarkation Day!

Oh lordy lordy, i have gotten myself into more than i expected and that elicits no complaints whatsoever! Everyone I have met so far I have really liked getting to know, my hotel is super nice and my roommates nicer, the weather spectacular, the water warm though extremely high in salinity, the bahamians intelligent and friendly, the plantains DELICIOUS!!!!!!!, everything is  absolutely wonderful. My bags were 'short-checked' and left in Miami, and it took until around 7 pm last night for them to get here, but just having them relieves a lot of stress I was feeling, however minor it was, seeing as i have been riding on a wave of elation since i stepped on the hotel floor 2 days ago. Everything is so exciting and new and in transition that all you can do is actively enjoy everything around  you, without worrying about things staying the same or going the way you want. It is so refreshing to be part of a group of very smart people. I got to just sit and listen and argue about free will and god and determinism for about 2 hours last night while watching Obama's speech. The bahamas is mostly a tourist town so i haven't done much adventuring, other than going to this place called Senor Frogs, which sounds as goofy as it is! More to come after boarding! Love love love,
