Gail, not quite sure what one of Molly's Brazillian instruments is asks: "Is that your bong?" The look in Molly's eyes says, "Silly mom, it's a Berimbau." |
Amy, Molly, Dad (holding Molly's Brazilian Berimbau), and Kat. |
Molly and Gail in front of the MV Explorer. Gail doing a little tap step in honor of my mom, her "sister." |
Leigh happy that I looked for her when her sea was disembarking (even though I completely missed her). |
F'05ers Susan, Colin, Amy, Corey, Leigh, Molly, finally all off the ship with F'01er Kat who sacrificed her new car to haul all the luggage. Sorry about your cup holder Kat! |

Leigh, Susan, Molly, and I walking to Molly's hotel with all the bags that didn't fit in Kat's car. |
Goodbye for now MV Explorer. You will always be home! |

Molly and Betany (our friend who lives in San Diego) at dinner - our first meal off the ship. |
Molly, Gail, and Kat heading up the gangway for the open house on the ship the day after our voyage was officially over. |
It was so sad to see this bulletin board that started out with 99 days left, now say 0. The voyage was definitely life changing. I think I will remember most the amazing friends I made on the ship and around the world. |
Sneaking back into my room in the pit during the open house the day after our voyage officially ended. It already looked much different, they were tearing apart the beds deep cleaning and getting ready for the next voyage. |
Molly showing Gail her old room. Her room wasn't the one open to look at, but since it never really did lock well, they were able to break right in. |
Amy and Molly saying our last goodbye on the ship. |
