I'm in disbelief...I leave in only a few days! It doesn't seem real that I'll finally be departing...I imagine it won't truly hit me until I have boarded the ship...Ah! I'm currently in Addison, Maine and will take the ferry from St. John's, New Brunswick to Derby, Nova Scotia early saturday morning. From there I'll drive to Halifax and check in to the Downtown Westin...(I have this odd love affair with hotels so I'm quite excited) and then explore downtown Halifax for awhile. I believe there are some ship activities later on (?) so that should be interesting/fun. These past few weeks have been crazy..I've just found out I will be spending the next year in Bangalore, India and are leaving eleven days after I return from this trip. So I've been running ragged trying to get everything in order...
