By the Numbers


I can't believe how quickly the Semester at Sea voyage is coming up. In preparation for the trip I've created this blog (thank you, Christian, for the tutorial), previewed it (thank you, Lauren and Tim, for serving as official testers), and got a plane ticket for San Diego (thank you, Pauletta, for donating your flight voucher on my behalf). Like a good researcher (Curry pride!) and procrastinator, I have reviewed the pertinent documents and have calculated a "by the numbers" edition for my MV Explorer voyage:
2001 the year the building of the ship was completed in Germany
918 number of berths on the ship
650 approximate number of students on the ship
590 length in feet of the ship
418 cabins on the ship (296 outside and 122 inside)
196 number of crew members
70 number of faculty and staff members
32 the cruising number of knots the speed of the ship can reach
954-538-6163 number to fax the ship
877-266-0986 number to reach the ship's receptionist, who will connect you to my room
$5 cost per page for sending a fax
$3.95 cost per minute for calling me on the ship
0 number of people who will actually call or fax me--that's what email is for!

I love it! I'm happy to be your first person to post a comment and I'm even happier that I'll now have another blog to check everyday! This trip is so exciting and it couldn't happen to a better person. Can't wait to see you in San Diego!

P.S. Are you sure I can't be stowed under your bed for the trip?
