Hey all!
We departed the Bahamas this morning and all is well. We had a great time doing all the cool things at the Atlantis, and yes mom I did the big water slide because I know you would want to ask that. Apparently we are sailing Northwest to get away from the hurricane which I am sure you are all closely monitoring. It has been a long first day with all the orientation stuff but I'm so happy to finally be on our way! We can send and recieve emails without attachments for free through this address which is different from when Allison was on it. Not sea sick yet but the seas are getting very rocky so we will see how I feel in the morning. I will keep you all updated daily since I have free access to email. Hope all is well!

***FYI - If you want to contact Ben, please email him at [email protected]. He can send AND receive emails for free with this address and probably won't be checking his Ithaca email too frequently. :)
