2013 Week 2

I woke up today around 6:15 and sat on the porch listening to music. When it came time to meet at 7:30 at the Guava Berry entrance, I was already packed and ready for the day. After we met at the entrance, we went to the Internet lounge for breakfast which consisted of fruit, power bars, loafs of...

We woke up this morning, refreshed and ready for another day of scuba diving. We awoke a tad later then everyone and quickly gathered our gear, but we were the last cabin to the cattle guard, where we meet daily. From there, we walked to the Internet café where we ate a breakfast of cereal and banana bread. We...

Fun in the Sun Day 2... We had another tasty breakfast consisting of three types of bread, cereal, yogurt and a granola bar that I found in my backpack. I am enjoying my third day without braces by eating granola bars and starburst. After breakfast we walked to an amazing rock formation called the baths. The baths is basically a huge area...

Footage from our first Day on the island. The guys had a great day and have a great week planned ahead of them full of learning about the marine life found here and how we can use science to help conserve, protect, and rebuild it!

Yesterday was the longest traveling day of my life. It took us three planes, almost 5 hours of down time in between flights, and about 6 hours of traveling, we finally made it to our destination, The Guavaberry Resort on the British Virgin Island. When Joe, Gabe, David, and I arrived a our cabin, the Plumtree cabin, we were...

Walking into the airport on Tuesday morning, I was filled with excitement. After over a year of anxiously awaiting the trip, the time had finally come to enjoy my passion. It seemed like I was the most excited person there after annoying everyone by saying how excited I was over and over again. I have no problem with flying...
