2015 Week 1

Today felt much different then every other day I have had in the BVI simply because today I spent my last hours on those islands. I started by waking up at around 6:15 or so in order to make sure everything I needed to bring home was all ready. Once I checked my bags for the last time I...

It's finally here. The last day of living in paradise. Half of me feels kinda happy because I get to see my family and friends, and the other half feels sad that I'm leaving this heaven. Instead of waking up at seven, I would be getting up at seven fifteen in order to help my cabin set up breakfast...

Today I once again woke up to the beautiful sound of birds chirping and the feral roosters crowing. As always, the alarm only woke me up, so I had to wake Xander and Jack up. We then got ready and went to breakfast at Mark's cabin. Today we were treated with the usual cereal and fruit, but today Casey...

The last day started off really well because we got to sleep in an extra thirty minutes. We ate at house plum and we had the usual plus some really tasty donuts that Casey brought for everybody. After breakfast we all loaded up and went to a beach to do some community service. This place is where all the...

We woke up around 7 and had breakfast but this time we got to have doughnuts instead of the usual breakfast. The doughnuts were massive compared to regular ones. After we ate breakfast we went to really really dirty beach. The beach not only had a ton of trash all over it but the water had developed sargasm seaweed...

Today started off with great thick donuts. The donuts did not taste like any regular donut, it was 100x better. After breakfast, we headed to a beach that was covered in trash and smelt like rotten boiled eggs. At first it was unbearable, but realizing that it was for a better cause wiped that pain all away. The beach...

(Day 5: A "Shark"ing Surprise)Another great day in the BVI, had a great breakfast. Another hearty breakfast and trip with Glen to the boats where we began the two dives for the day. Today, we first went to the Rhone wreck, a natural wreck that happened in the mid to late 1800's during the 2nd biggest hurricane to hit...

Had a nice sleep in this morning. I got to have the normal breakfast with some massive donuts, like mini cakes. After that, we all packed into Glen's taxi and went down to the water filtration site which sat right on the water front. There, we swept the beach for 2 hours looking for trash to pick up. All...

Today, we woke up to a bunch of donuts that Casey brought us, which was awesome. This made everyone enjoy breakfast even more than usual. After breakfast, we headed to a beach to pick up trash for our service project. This certain beach was where one hundred percent of the islands fresh water comes from, so it is very...
