Well, here i am, my set was finally accepted for member review and I couldnt be more excited. i have started planning my five week vacation and i decided on a trip to mexico. it will be awesome i'm sure. i had to extend my contract with the cruise ship for an extra two weeks so that the dates would work in my favor but it will be okay, time is going so fast now a days. not much excitment on the ship since the last kayaking trip but on that one we went to a beach in Kona, we got to grill veggie burgers on the beach, then we each got a kayak and off we went. i was literally twenty feet away from a shark in open water!!!!! it was so awesome i couldnt believe it. i got to see lots of whales and dolphins too, but the shark was the best. at the end of my contract i will be headed back to ohio for a week, then i will be packing everything i own and putting it in storage so that i finally will not have to pay rent anymore. then i will go to pennsylvania, then philly, then mexico, and maybe california if i have enough money. then back to ohio to repack and then back to hawaii and the ship for another five month contract. the weather in hawaii has been a little chillier than usual, but it still beats ohio by a long shot.
