And I'm Off!

So I am about 10 hours from boarding my flight from Newark, NJ to Nassau, Bahamas! I am pretty much all packed and ready to go- I cannot believe that this day has come, I have been thinking about it since this past winter when I decided to apply to SAS. It is very bittersweet I must say, but I am extremely excited and ready to begin this journey of a lifetime. After some tearful goodbyes tonight with close friends from Kinnelon, and I'm sure more in the morning when I say goodbye to my family...I am glad I will be traveling with Ben, a good friend from Ithaca. Together we will fly together and then stay in Nassau for two nights with some other SASers. My IC roommate, Lacey, boarded the ship this morning in Norfolk, VA, and I will be seeing her hopefully on Thursday evening down in Nassau! I will be mentioning these two often I would imagine since we are all very good friends...OK enough rambling for me...
I will keep in touch the best I can, but please email me at arianne.templeton@gmail.com whenever you get the chance, because I will eventually get all emails, it just might take awhile for me to respond. ADIOS AMERICA!!
