2015 Week 1

We woke up around 7 and ate breakfast. After breakfast we got a briefing of the rules of Guava Berry resort. We then left for the marina to go on our fisher dive. The first dive site we went to was one of the dog islands and we mostly did skills that we had learned in scuba class almost...

This morning we had to wake up at 7:00 and we all met for breakfast at the teachers house again. We ate cereal and then went strait to the marina. Glenn is our taxi driver and Glenn "doesn't wait for anyone" I'm on the Sea Dragon boat and Gaz is my dive master. At the first sight we started...

The early wake up this morning wasn't that bad and I got to have a good start on the day with a pretty rich breakfast of cereal, some power bars, fruits, and bagels. Right after breakfast, we went to our assigned boats and were briefed about what we'd be doing that day. First, we went out to a small...

As I woke up from my two hour nap at 4am, I was a bit angry. Thoughts of resentment ran thru my head wondering if this marine biology trip was worth it. This anger continued to build up as the waiting for the planes were seemingly endless. As the day breezed thru, finally getting off the first plane in...

Getting up today at four in the morning was hard, but it was definitely worth it. The flight from Dallas to San Juan was long but I got to sit next to Henry so I had someone to talk to. We had a four to five hour lay over in San Juan, but it went by fast because I...

Today I arrived on the British Virgin Island, Virgin Gordo, after a five hour flight from Dallas to Puerto Rico on a commercial airliner, a five hour layover before a forty five minute flight from Puerto Rico to Beef Island on a propeller plane with thirty four seats, and a fifteen minute boat ride from Beef Island to Virgin...

The morning started early today, I woke up at 4:15 and headed promptly to dfw airport to catch our plane to Costa Rica. The flight was long, but we had an amazing view of the ocean and islands below us. Needless to say however, when we arrived in Costa Rica, I was eager to get off of the plane....

Today I woke up at 3:30 to get ready to set out for the airport. I arrived at the airport around 4:45 and met up with my marine biology group at the gate. After going through security we were given the chance to go wander around and get breakfast from one of the restaurants around our terminal. We then...

Today I woke up at four in the morning in order to get on the first flight. Ironically this would be the first airplane I would ever ride on. When I got on the plane as "childish" as this may be was fascinated with the idea of being over 3000 feet in the air, not to mention how beautiful...
