IM HOME!!!!!!!!!!

I should probably write one last blog saying I made it home safely.
The ship arrived in Ft. Lauderdale the morning of May 5th.  My friends and I woke up extremely early to stake out a place along the railing so we could watch as we docked. It was one of the best feelings ever to see my family standing there.  They were with all of my best friends' parents also since they had met eachother the night before.  And all of them were holding signs with our names on them and an American flag, so it was a great welcome home.
I had to wait awhile before leaving the ship.  We were called by seas, and the Bering Sea happened to be chosen 2nd to last, so we waited awhile. But it went quicker than I thought.  So by noon Sally and I walked off the ship together and went through immigration and got to see our families who were waiting outside the port terminal for us.
After meeting all of my friends' families, we all went to Chipotle, just like the rest of Semester at Sea.  It was PACKED with SASers because we all missed it so much. It was nice though because all 11 of my girlfriends met there for one last picture with out "Team Awesome" shirts which Shauna's mom was nice enough to bring to us that day. 
That night, Sally and her mom, Becca and her parents, Alli and her parents, and my family and I went to dinner at Applebees. It was nice to have a selection and choice on what food we wanted to eat, instead of pasta, potatoes, rice, mystery meat, fish, and bread. (same selection for lunch and dinner every single day we were at sea. not complaining, but kind of gets old real fast.) Luckily we were all able to meet up the necxt morning for breakfast too because I was not ready to say bye to them just yet.
On Thursday night, May 6th, I flew home to California.  I am officially a world traveler.  In just 110 days I made it around he whole world, seeing 9 countries, and two states: Hawaii and Florida. 
I was sitting in my hotel room that night I got back, and it seemed as if the whole thing was a dream.  For some reason it seemed like none of it actually happened; as if it was a long dream full of unique adventures and memorable experiences.  It ended up going by so quickly.  I remember the first week was a struggle to get through.  I was so sea sick and so miserable I thought that the next 100 days would never come.  But it came quicker than I had expected, and as I was nearing the last few days on the ship, I wish it had gone slower.   I am so fortunate for being able to have this experience.  I learned so much about the world and about myself.  It is going to be hard to put my trip into words, but luckily I have tons and tons of pictures to help do that for me.  I would love to show you some pictures and videos.  I am currently trying to make a video of my entire trip, so I am hoping to have that done by camping in July.
Thank you to everyone who followed my blog.  It was always comforting to know that I have people back home supporting me and praying for me while I was gone.  I felt all of your prayers.  God watched over me and kept me extrememly safe. I got sick (sea sick and colds) what seemed to every other week, but God looked after my safety because I came home with no injuries and wasn't assulted or mugged like half of the ship. 
Thanks again! I am glad to be home and hope to see or talk to you soon.
