My First Entry: Leaving Home

The entire process of getting ready for this trip was long and difficult, from the endless amounts of paperwork to buying all of my necessities for the next three and a half months. I consider myself to be top five in the list of the World's Greatest Packers, but this was a true test of my body and spirit. The time has finally come for me to say goodbye to Broomfield and take off to Nassau, Bahamas to meet up with my classmates and the ship which I have preemtively named Bertha: Legend of the Deep. It was very hard to say goodbye to everyone I know for such a long time but I am going to try and make the best of my opportunity and make The Eagle Trace Men's Club and the rest of Broomfield proud. I am truly blessed to be able to travel to the places I am going to and I appreciate all of the support I have recieved from my family, friends, and my girlfriend. I will leave it at that for now, I am sure I will have much more to say when the trip really begins. Please feel free to leave comments or even send emails as I would love to hear from all of you.
