So a lot of my friends have been traveling all over the world and have had great adventures. They have used this method to communicate and update their families and friends on what they have been doing. As I embark on my own adventure through the Caribbean, I am starting this blog to accomplish the same goals. I am hoping to make use of this blog to communicate and update my family and friends as to what I'm up to and share some of the any pictures I will be taking.
I am leaving this evening for the island of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. I will have to fly to Chicago first, ten Miami, and eventually along to the island of St. Thomas. Once I arrive I have to get myself to the ferry terminal and take a boat to the island i will actually be staying on. Once there I have to make my way to the north shore of the island to the small town of Peters Bay and to the campsite I will be working at. I have a position at a campsite/cabins called Botanical Villas, where I will be working about 4 hrs a day in exchange for a place to stay. I am not sure of the work or the accommodations yet and I am excited to find out.
The flight is going to be long and not very fun, but I am very excited. I will keep you all updated with the details and pictures of where I am and what I am doing.
Feel free to forward this to whomever you think might be interested. Thanks for reading.
Good luck Matt on the trip and I am so jealous. Working for a place to stay and food sounds like a great deal plus you get some chances to see and sample the local fare. Keep in touch and congrats again on your fantastic college achievement of a Masters Degree.
