2015 Week 1

I don't think I have ever woken up so quickly in my life.  At 3:30 my alarm went off and I jumped out of bed immediately.  This trip has been on my mind all summer long.  After a routine morning, The drive to the airport seemed to take forever, especially since I had drank a little caffeine.  Then the...

  

Today was my first full day in the BVI. My day started bright and early at 7am. After getting ready for the day, my cabin headed down as a group to breakfast which was scheduled at 7:30. Once everyone had finished eating breakfast the exciting part of the day began. At the entrance of Guava Berry Resort we were...

Today I woke up to a beautiful sunrise, then I fell asleep again two minutes later. Luckily, my alarm woke me up...but not Xander, so I had to wake him up again.

From there we got on Dive BVI's boat and went to the island Virgin Gorda. The cabin that Xander, Jack, Brock, and I got today was...

Today started out with breakfast at our house, the Lime House. We set up the table with the same things as the other days. After breakfast, my boat, the Sea Monkey, was dropped at the docks to go sea turtle tagging. My tagging group, of myself, Cooper, Bobby, Reese, and Luke. We are basically professional turtle taggers after...

Casey surprised us with a great treat today: Texas sized donuts. We all cheered when she arrived carrying a box full of these breakfast miracles. Even though we were filling our stomachs with the chocolate goodness, everyone seemed a bit quieter today. We all knew in the back of our heads that we would have to...
