The Journey Begins

At approximately 5:00pm today (Father’s Day) the ropes were thrown off the MV Explorer and our Journey of Discovery (SAS language; not mine) began. Standing alongside old SAS friends Liz and Jeremy and new SAS friends Oscar, Jill, Kyla & Emma Marie, we watched our ship pull away from the docks. Although we were joined around lunchtime by 302 SAS students and 47 lifelong learners, not many people were around to say goodbye. Three years ago in Nassau, we watched a host of parents of SASers disappear, but today as we departed Ensenada there were only a couple dozen ISE staff to bid us adieu. Still, they made it an exciting one.
