Cheers!

I have been hearing stories from both my brother and my sister for years about SAS. Finally It's my turn to tell the story!  I have been looking forward to doing this trip since 7th grade and I can't believe I am getting ready to go.  11 days and counting. I am very excited to start my journey.  Besides just cruising and snoozing I will be looking forward to my adventures.  From riding in a canoe down the amazon, working in refuge camps, petting elephants, drumming with a tribe, tasting the best wines in South Africa, river tubing in Dominica, sky diving, and much more I can say I have a fun semester ahead of me. What I am mainly looking forward to is working in an orphanage in Cambodia that my sister visited on her SAS trip.  The orphanage has special meaning because my family has made it a part of their lives the past few years. My family and I strongly believes in their mission statement which is EGBOK. Everybody's gonna be ok. All the paper work is finally done and now all I have to do is get 105 days worth of clothing in ONE bag! I guess this is why they all say its going to be a " life changing experience".
