The Open Ocean, United States
Tuesday, August 29, 2006
Well the last few days have definitely been interesting, mostly because we can not see land anywhere! It is a totally eerie feeling, especially when the voice announces in our midday report our distances from the nearest lands....I think the closest today was about 3,000 miles or something along those lines. That would be really far to swim! We have been completely treated like royalty so far, its pretty cool, but totally not what any of us are used to in even the farthest sense. Everyone's bed is made daily along with fresh clean towels and sheets. Personally I don't think I made my bed once at school and washed my sheets and towels a lot less then I would like to admit! When we eat everything is pretty much buffet style but the stewards bring us drinks, clean up any mess we make and take out plates away from us. I know that this is really bad for me to get used to because it's never in my life going to happen again!! We all feel so incredibly spoiled, it's crazy!
