Bored sitting here waiting for my flight to Seoul (scheduled to leave @ 0050 hrs.). Catching up on some emails & research in the meantime. Still have a few more calls to make before the flight; will check in once I arrive in Seoul as it may be last contact 'til the return trip (not sure how technologically savvy our base camp will be). Happy holiday, everyone! Sent from my BlackBerry Tour

Well! Two ports in two days, that's going some and I couldn&#8217;t get off in either of them. Still Jacksonville next &#8211; whoopee &#8211; shopping and nails, etc.<br><br>We got to Boston and anchored right at the end of the Logan International Airport runway, a very busy airport. A barge brought the bunkers out, this took about 4 hours so we were then on our way to Hantsport, Novia Scotia. We arrived at the anchorage there about 10pm that same evening. We ...

Finally heading to Spain to start my month long trip! This will be an interesting trip as I don't know Spanish and I hear that english is not generally spoken. Let the Adventure begin!<br><br><br><br>The flight over from Boston went well other than a little hold up with the computers. This caused me to miss my connecting ...

... Money really does go like water. I have attached some pictures for your viewing. The snake was the most popular of the animals. Almost all the children wanted to take a picture with the snake. Even the children that are scared of snakes were able to control their screams until after the picture was taken (myself included). Hunting for Crocodiles I took my Green Club and other students on the Black River Safari, a popular tourist spot ...

... World Cup contending game between Mexico and Jamaica recently. By sheer passion alone (and the introduction of a new coach), the Reggae Boyz slipped past Mexico's grasp with a 1-0 victory, and just last week, wriggled around Honduras with another 1-0 win. Despite international and national doubt, Jamaica may actually be flying to South Africa in 2010 for the Cup. Only one game remains, and Canada ultimately will decide its fate. With Olympic fever having only ...

... to the program and my thesis (noted as a dissertation in the West Indies). And, for the first time in my life, I am striving to learn rather than to obtain a grade. Luckily, our courses encourage us to be social, to experience the Caribbean culture and be a part of the community, to "have a life" in Jamaica, as well, which is a relief. During the week, I greatly enjoy my classes. One of my teachers writes for the national newspaper. Another recently hosted a ...

... slack, drooping, snapped. Muddy, drowned fields appeared as coffee lagoons with too much cream. Stop light poles were upended. A Burger King sign lay broken on its side. When we would stop to pick up more passengers, the yelling of street vendors could be heard on the divider curbs between traffic, "PINE(!)apples. PINE(!)apples. SWEET GUNips. SWEET GUNips." Our fellow travelers included a man with a tray of cotton candy, the pale blue and pink clouds ...

... concludes the tour. The museum is inspiration which portrays Bob Marley as a messenger of peace, hope and love. His views were not help by all Jamaicans, however, and his life was threatened more than once. During the tour, the guide points out bullet holes in the back of house where he was attacked on one occasion. After that particular attempt on his life, Bob went into hiding for two years, until 1978's One Love concert where he had the leaders of ...
