We have left the Bahamas!!!!

We have left the Bahamas!!!!

Yesterday we had training all day long with meetings back to back to back!! But they were all very thorough and informative and helped us to prepare for all the students that boarded today!! We also had a fantastic parent's reception that allowed the parents to see the ship their student would be on and meet us (the staff)! I had a fabulous time meeting and explaining all the things I have learned about the voyage in the past few days!

We had a fantastic breakfast meeting to start the voyage off right! Beth led a great meeting about diversity and we all closed on a positive note (which had us bursting out laughing)! It was touching (we are the stars in drew's universe :) and motivating! Then we went straight to meeting and treating our participants for the voyage... Which brought back fond memories of orientation (which now that I think of it... So did the parent's reception yesterday)!
Our next adventure was to assist with the life boat drill. This was very exciting and really only took 30 min!!! He Dalton said it was the first time he didn't see anyone with flip flops! We didn't have to send anyone back.... Which was amazing! We were told over the pa that that was probably the best inspection he has ever had! Good job too all of our participants!!
After some time to myself for some paper writing and reading, we all headed out to the decks to wave goodbye to the Bahamas as we officially set off on our voyage! At which point both Amy and I realized we left our cameras in the room... But never fear! I ran down the 6 flights of stairs (and then back up) to grab them and took some pics!
We then all headed down for some scrumdiddlyumpchus dinner followed by our welcome meeting with everyone!
Afterwards we broke off into our seas for our meetings!! We are the Aegean Sea Lions :) we have a claw for our hand sign (which we have already been using to greet each other with!! I can't wait for all that lies ahead!
Sea ya latter!
