p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } 11/30/10 I woke up before my 5:45 am alarm and was off and going for the day. My group all got together and then we all gathered in the TV lounge to watch a DVD prior to going to Fraser Island. This DVD reminded me of the DVD you have to watch prior to going on a canoe trip in BWCA (Boundary Waters Canoing Area) in northern Minnesota where it goes over some safety and the importance of hanging food ...

p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } 11/29/10 The bus ride kept going and I was able to nod off from time to time and get some shut eye.

11/26/10 I woke up at 9 am and was feeling well rested for having gotten six hours of sleep. I started to sort my bags and pack up to prepare for 10 am check out. I also had to put a small bag of clothes and personal items that I was allowed to take on the sailing trip.
