Hello!
Just a quick note to say that we have left Norfolk and are sailing along - midway to our stop in Nassau, where we will arrive tomorrow (Thursday) at 5pm EST.
We are loving the ship and all the wonderful people we are meeting. Everyone is brimming with excitment at this upcoming adventure - trying to get settled into our cabins and new home, getting to know one another and preparing for the large number of new shipmates will we be welcoming in just two days.
Our living quarters are very nice - we have a small cabin with a large window on Deck 4 (port side, toward the rear or aft). The rest of the ship is lovely and we're quickly familiarizing ourselves with all the nooks and crannies.
Just wanted to say hello and let you all know we are doing well. Slept like babies last night after leaving stateside around 8pm EST. So far no troubles with motion sickness.
Joy and Kiki - thanks for the blog comments!!!
So much more to come...

From Bill:
As I type this note, the deck is still rolling from side to side and the feeling is exacerbated by my being in a room with no windows...no seasickness just yet, a bit queasy the first night, but it passed. My 'iron stomach' prevailed over this little challange too:) Bring on the mango-conch ceviche in the Bahama's! (that's for Ed Paco)
The swells yesterday were 6-8 ft at about 12-13 seconds (long period). Today the swells are 6-7 ft at about 7 seconds and the boat rocks with every swell...so it's like a carnival ride right now. but it's warm and carribbean like in the weather.
More meetings today, then a parent reception this evening, then the students board the ship tomorrow morning! hasta.

I chatted w/ Angie briefly online today and found out that you're getting Captain Roman in the Bahamas!
Yay!!
Enjoy this time sans students.
love ya!
The back of the ship is the place to be in rough seas, so you got lucky there. If Mag is working in the faculty and staff lounge, tell him Joe and Joy say HI!!!!!!!!
