We saw a ship today...

We're 19 degrees above the equator.  I am sunning by the pool reading a book entitled The End of Nature.  >>>Don't worry mom I'm wearing sunblock<3   Tomorrow we will be in Hilo, Hawaii. Sometimes referred to as the Rainiest place in the U.S.  I'm thinking it would be fun to rent mopeds and go to the dry side of the island to have a beach day, but that's a 2.5 hour drive.  Tomorrow night I will be at the Muana Key Observatory, looking at stars through a telescope. 

I was looking through a South Africa tour guide to see what activities i can do there.  Did you know that they abolished slavery in the 1830's?  Also, they were the first to have equal gay and lesbian rights in their constitution.  Two fun facts I thought were pretty interesting.  I'm thinking of repelling down table mountain while im there.  three more days untill were in hawaii.  Not much going on at all. 

We saw a bird yesterday!!!

It rained this morning
I have a lot of reading to do
four more days until we're in Hawaii.

Yea there's not much going on at all.  My bedside table completely flipped over and to end and dumped out all of its contents.  its basically demolished.  the on-board carpenter is in the room fixing it this very moment.  I'm so excited for Hawaii!

Hi Everyone!
    I've been on the ship for two days now, and I'm finally getting used to the swaying. I was using seasick patches, but stopped because they were messing with my vision.  i can't read or see anything unless i hold it an arms-length away from my face.  So now I've switched to the bracelets we'll see if that actually works. 

    the drive through mexico was....eventful... as the border patrol was checking out our buses and luggage, a fairly large family scaled a ten foot cement barrier wall to get into the US.  No one saw them or was paying them any attention.  I guess our buses were the perfect distraction.  as we were driving away, I looked over and saw the last family member being helped over the wall.  she was about nine or ten, wearing a cute pink dress.  she stood there with one foot up against the wall, looking and reaching up to grab onto one of the many hands stretching down to her.  she eventually go a hold and hoisted herself up and over into California.  I really wonder how far they made it...  

P.S.
