Setting Sail!

On Sunday packed the car and drove to Norfolk for the voyage.  Thanks to Tina, Richard, Corey and Martha for help with the packing!  Here are some photos of the ship at Norfolk and my cabin.   We cast off at 11:00 pm and sailed out of Norfolk past the bridge-tunnel into the Atlantic....

Getting Ready....

Less than three days now until we set sail!  Lots of packing to do tomorrow, and then we will drive to Norfolk on Sunday.  Looking forward to meeting other faculty and staff at the hotel Sunday night and then boarding on Monday.  This pic is from a pirate farewell celebration with our friends and colleagues at the Cavalier Tavern in Lynchburg.  Yoho, me hearties......Arrrrrhhhh!

Bon Voyage Celebration

At my sister's lake house in north Georgia for a bon voyage celebration..  It's not quite the ocean, but it's wet!.... My wife Tina and I are on the "Big Mabel" raft.  You can't really see it in the pic, but that is a Semester at Sea tshirt...
