2014 Week 2

Today was good. Much more relaxed than the rest of the trip. Things are starting to wind down now. Today we woke up and went to the teachers' cabin to eat breakfast. After that we all got on the bus and headed up to the beach to do some cleaning us for the city. This was our way to...

A rise around 8:00 in the morning was a gift and we all needed it. We then headed to breakfast at the teachers cabin where we had homemade bread and other snacks. After, we went to the marina and met Joel, the turtle man, who explained to us the how the tagging of turtles worked. Some of the key...

Our first day in the British Virgin Islands began with Mr. Kirby waking me and my roommates, Ryan Black, Joseph Stautner, David Madrazo, and Preston Sledge, up at 7:00 am. With only fifteen minutes to get ready the five of us rushed to prepare ourselves for the long day ahead. We began in our classroom and officially met the...

Today, I woke up to the sound of chickens. My cabin members, Hank Shotland and Matt Horvath, and I quickly got dressed and ready for our long day. We met all of our other classmates at the front entrance of the Guavaberry hotel. We were then picked up by our bus that took us to breakfast and class. We...

Day 4 Today we woke up an hour later than normal, thank the stars, so we could go to Doc, Mrs. Boyle, and Mr. Kirby's hut for some breakfast. Casey and another dove BVI member brought us the closest thing to home food we could get: wrapped bars, apple juice, yogurt, and honey buns. We want back to our cabin...

Day five on the island: We went back to the 7am wake up for this morning. Everyone was especially tired today because of how much sun we got yesterday during the turtle tagging. Most cabins were asleep and lights out at 10:30. Anyway, we met glen at 8 so that he could drive us to breakfast. For breakfast, we went...

We arrived at DFW airport at around 6 am and it was a very groggy, but exciting morning. We took off from DFW at about 9am or so and arrived in Miami at around 1pm because of weather in Miami. We took off from Miami at around 1:40pm and arrived in San Juan, Puerto Rico at around 4:30pm and...

Day 5 Today we woke up at our normal time, 7:00, and went down go the marina when our bus picked us up. We had breakfast at the marina again and when we were done, we went to our boats and put all our scuba stuff together. We rode over to great dog island, the place of our original dive...

Arriving at DFW airport at 6:00 A.M. was brutal, but we knew it would be well worth it because of the exciting trip ahead of us. As a group, we went through security, hung out, which included riding the Skylink and losing a wallet, and then boarded our American Airlines plane to Miami. Once in Miami, we were...
