Hi Phil, I hope all is well. We are in India at the moment. Things for me are going great, just extraordinarily busy. Anyone who says that sailing around the world as the Dean of Students is a piece of cake hasn’t tried this flavor yet. It is rewarding though. As you obviously realize, I have not sent you anything for the blog because I have simply been too busy. I’ve started to catch-up somewhat and therefore have decided to send you some excerpts from each of my country-to-country crossings. I will also send you a photo or 2. I don’t have time to keep up the blog, so if you are able to do that, then that’s great. If not, that’s totally understandable as well. Thank you for everything in advance. Please say “hi” to everyone for me and that I miss everyone.
I have no photos yet for these first two entries, but will try to send some later.
First Blog Entry: “Norfolk, Virginia to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada”
I’ve finally arrive…so my journey begins. I met my entire staff in person, along with other staff, faculty and some of their families. Everyone seems so warm, nice, and delightful. I feel it will be an incredible experience for us all. We’ve spent the entire crossing training and getting oriented to the ship. So much to do before the students arrive in Canada…signing off for now.
