You know how a free puppy is wonderful, but has strings attached? You get wet kisses, full body tail wags, and an inseparable new part of your life before you even realize what happened. You also have to get your puppy shots, paper train her, teach her about human culture, find food she will eat, and make sure she gets enough exercise. Semester at Sea gives connections with new friends, experiences of places and things we can't even imagine yet, and has already become part of our life stories. You also have to get shots, do much paperwork, learn new cultures, eat new food, and make sure you get enough exercise. Plus organize a floating library and arrange life for a whole family to travel in 14+ ports and be away from home, school, and work for a few months.
SAS and free puppies: amazing gifts that come with a lot of responsibilities!
We are in the final flurry of preparations. Nearly all of my work preparing the shipboard library is done for now, but there are many things left to do at work and home. One month from today, we board the plane for San Diego.
