Since we’re back to the Drake Passage, trying to enjoy two days at sea, this is a good chance to stop talking about Antarctica and spend a few minutes talking about the super awesome people we’ve met on ship.
We became fast friends with Leigh, Dale and Zach either the first or second day onboard. It’s a little bit like summer camp where the first day or two everyone is testing the waters, trying to figure out where they fit on the ship. But as opposed to being kids, here we have access to 199 passengers plus another ~140 crew/staff on board who are from around the globe with different travel experiences, backgrounds and cultures.
Note: getting through the language barrier with Leigh was half the battle!
After another day or so, we picked up Keith and Jackie and now we have a few other rotating seats at dinner and the Euchre table for Chad and Lauren from Denver, some crew members, Tom and a few other randoms.
We have really enjoyed getting to know everyone and are super pumped to stay close for years to come.
