Hey! I meant to say the slums, but anyway things are good. Don and I going to head up to kingston to watch the Superbowl.

Love you

Heather

Hey girl, everything looks and sounds amazing. It's tough keeping Heather out of trouble w/o you around (haha). Hope you are having the time of your life. Can't wait to see more pics! Get anything pierced or tattoed for crossing the equator? Talk soon.

Oh by the way that ship looks like the slims!

Hey Chul! I hope you are having a good time! I miss you so much. Grad school is FUN ... NOT! Grad is keeping me busy, and I cannot wait until spring, without skiing winter sucks. Take lots of pictures, so I see everything you see.

Miss and love you millions

Heather

rachie bethie! i've been obsessively reading your blog and looking at your pictures - it looks like you're having an amazing time so far and seeing beautiful sights. i'm so glad i can share it with you :) i miss you - be safe - and keep up the posts! love- amy

Hey Rachel!!

I am so excited for our trip to Puerto Rico after reading your blog and seeing the pictures!! Tony and i are totally planning on going to the same bioluminescent bay (i've been sooo excited for that since we booked the trip) and to El Yunque for sure. How funny that not long from now we may be standing in the exact same spot as you just were! only 2 weeks from today and we'll be on our way to warm weather. So happy to see you wearing tank tops!!

Tony is here with me and he said to say hello, he hopes you're having fun. he also though in an extremely jealous, "sailing b****! i wish i was sailing around the world!" we drooled over the promise of Puerto Rico together...

Anyway, stay safe, have fun and we can't wait to see you! good luck with work too- i hope it calms down once you've had some "adjustment" time. Good luck and good fun my little flower!

Hey Rachel! I've been enjoying the blog and cant wait to hear more :)

Hi Rachel: Looks like you are off to a great start. You must be very excited. Hope you can download more photos. Have a great time - I will keep checking your blog so I can keep up but still expect to hear all about it when you get back. Love Ya!

Hi Rachel. I'm so excited for you. You're off to an amazing adventure. I look forward to reading your blog and seeing your pictures. Traveling around the world is so awesome. Enjoy your 100 days to the max. Lynn

Hey Rachel!! so i read all your blogs and i am getting excited just thinking about all the adventures you're going to have!! i will admit i gasped when you said you left your rig!! but it's true, rental is an option... it's so sad that you won't be in PR when Tony and i are- we could have played together in a foreign land! who knows maybe work will send me to China in the spring... :) i hope that you have a wonderful, wonderful trip! take loads of pictures! 100 days does seem like a long time when you say it out loud, but really it's not that long. i'm sure time will fly with all the fun you'll have. and really it's only until skydiving season. and that's not long. and then you'll be back and you and Sketchy will be setting up camp with us! hooray! so have fun, be safe, let your soul grow and experience everything fully. and i still think you should stow away loads of beef in Kobe... talk to you soon sweets!

ps- how adorable are you and andrew making beer together?! chocolate covered cherry.... sounds yum! loads of love... oh and may the seas be fair and the skies be blue!

whats cooking cutie.....

so diligent, you are my lady....reading your adventures and sending you lots of love and suport for the next couple days as you learn and absorb all the things that will have you be able to facilitate yourself and your students through this adventure....i am going to download the skype too, it has been on my to-do list....have a great day and catch some rays for me....it is totally frigid here....im sure you dont miss that!

love light and life always,xoxoox
