hi all!

i made it back onto the ship (for the LAST time?!) yesterday evening from our LAST port, guatemala. bring on the USA! as excited as i am to be back in the states, the reality of leaving is hitting fast & everyone is beginning to feel it. we received an email detailing the luggage, customs and immigration information for the day we disembark, a mere 6 days from now.

we have to declare all purchases and we've been told that our bags are not going to be handled delicately; so to pack accordingly. hopefully, if all goes smoothly, the first off the ship will be around 1030, and the last around 1400 (2:00p). once we get off the ship, there is no getting back on. no matter what. the ship won't be "ours" anymore.

with thoughts of packing, lists to make and still one more final to work on (nutrition), i'm off to get my day started.

see you all soon :)
