Prelude

I fit my life for two months into a single duffle bag. After a few hours of packing a dress shirt, a pair of slacks, a skinny tie, two Polo shirts, six plain v-necks, five various t-shirts, two tanks, three pairs of shorts, one pair of gym shorts, a pair of lounge shorts, a hoodie, two bathing suits, thirteen pairs of underwear, six pairs of socks, three pairs of shoes, a beach towel, work out gloves, and various hygienic supplies, I can finally say I'm done. But am I ready?

Despite all of the packing I have done today, it still hasn't hit me that I'm actually leaving for my semester at sea tomorrow. In less than twelve hours, I am leaving for Nassau, Bahamas before embarking on the MV Explorer on Friday, June 17th. I will be traveling the Mediterranean to not only learn about, but see, some of the great cities of the world. The full itinerary can be seen here. Today it still seems distant, but tomorrow it becomes a reality. Bon voyage.
