List of Ports

If you would like more information about the ports we will be visiting I figured I would post a link to this fancy map on the Semester at Sea Web site:

Get lost and then get found or swallowed in the sea...

Hello anyone and everyone who will read this! I'm keeping this blog to chronicle my adventures around the globe while traveling with the Semester at Sea study abroad program. The voyage will visit ten countries in 108 days from January 19th until May 6th. The itinerary includes ports in Spain, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, India, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Japan, Hawaii and Guatemala. We'll leave from Nassau, Bahamas and end in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. There are more than 700 students from across the country traveling with the program for its 97th voyage in Spring 2009.

I'm 20 years old, from Sutersville, Pennsylvania. I'm a journalism major with a sociology minor at Penn State University. This opportunity is quickly approaching and I'm both excited and scared about what lies ahead in my journey. I wanted to post this Travel Channel commercial, which must be at least two years old, but partly inspired me to go on this trip.

Be an adventurer. Be an individual. ... Be a local. Be a traveler.
