The Bahamas






I leave for the Bahamas on January 19th. Atlantis better have at least one starbucks because Great Aunt Marian is coming!!! My wonderful Mother, Father, Kaley (Sister), and my favorite Grandmother Mildred are also coming. Aunt Marian is HILARIOUS, If I could I would make a reality show about her. You need to meet her- she is a winner, and so is grandma.

Dearest Family, Friends, Lobsters, and Everyone Else,

If you are reading this than you know that I am going on Semester at Sea (SAS).  If you do not know what SAS is, here is a quick recap:
  • 1 Ship
  • 100 Days
  • 14 or so countries
  • a few glorious classes
  • a whole lot of fun
Over the next few months I will miss you all very much.  Communication will be limited.  My email address is Jjiggs@aol.com and hopefully I will be able to email you back relatively fast.  Email is the surest and cheapest method of getting in touch with me.  My response time may be delayed if I am in the middle of the ocean or a small third world village.  If you MUST call me, my number is 845-553-4346 (Daddy is going to KILL me for posting my number) and I still have my old phone for emergencies- but it will be left off).  I know that being without me may be very difficult at times (all of the time) but you can get through the day knowing that I am having the time of my life.  

Please enjoy my blog if I am diligent enough to update it.
