Docking in Puerto Rico!

Saturday at 7:50 am

We docking in Puerto Rico and this moment. The sun is shining and I just checked the weather forecast -- it's currently 70 degrees (& rising) with 90% humidity -- yikes. I'm waiting for my number to be called to get thru immigration. (If I end this quickly, you'll know my number has been called.) They are coming on board to check us out, then we can leave for the 9:30 City Tour via bus. Following that tour, I'll be going to the rain forest (where the humidity will probably be 100%).

The last couple of days have been killers -- to work at 8:00am and meetings didn't get over until 9:30pm. There are things I still need to do, but they can wait until Tuesday when we go back out to sea and head for Brazil.

It was amazing to see so many students at breakfast this morning at 7:00. They are a lot more excited about Puerto Rico than they are about their classes. Twenty % of their grade in each class will be projects concerning the countries we visit. The faculty & administration members who I have met are very knowledgeable and passionate about these countries and I think this is really a chance of a lifetime to be with so many interesting people.

Will report on Puerto Rico tonight (if I don't fall asleep early!)

Hope everything is going well for all of you. I'm going to enjoy my 3-day weekend in San Juan.
