And I'm off!

Well, I'm currently sitting in the Burlington airport waiting for my flight. So far my first flight is delayed 40 min. I'm not sure why but that's not a surprise. I'll be switching planes in Philly and then spending the night at a Hilton in Fort Lauderdale and then tomorrow head to San Salvador Island. Keep checking here for updates on my adventures and pictures. If you want to chat log on to Skype and maybe we can chat some time...
Later gators!!

I've graduated!!

Well, I did it! I have graduated from SUNY Plattsburgh with a BS in Individualized Studies: Dive Shop and Resort Management. It doesn't feel real yet but I'm sure it will soon. The party was a hit and it was great to see everyone one last time before I head to the Bahamas. I'll be moving out of my condo on Wednesday and staying with my brother and sister-in-law until the 30th. Ben and Martha will be running in the Vermont City Marathon next weekend and I'll be along to cheer them on. Best of luck to them both!!

Moving on...

Well, I have accepted a position with Club Med as a scuba instructor at their Columbus Isle location on the island of San Salvador in the Bahamas. I will be leaving on May 30th for a 6 month contract. I will teach a range of classes from basic Open Water to specialties as well as discover scuba/resort courses in addition to leading already certified divers.
As a result of getting this job I am renting out my condo and will be getting rid of most of my furniture and other things including my car. The process of going through my stuff has made me realize how material we really are and that all the "stuff" doesn't really matter.
Warmer waters are in my future and I can't wait for the next chapter in my life.
