This past school has been one of the most fun years of my life. Over the past nine months, we have been able to share our adventures from fourteen countries, three continents, and endless sea miles.

Everyone on the crew of Aldebaran had a blast. One of our favorite parts was sharing stories about people we met, cultures we experienced, and new things we tried.

After being away from my family and friends for so long, part of me was really excited to go back home. Another part of me knew it was going to be hard to say goodbye to Aaron, Gallie, and Aldebaran. Aldebaran had been my home for the year. It was sad to see Aaron and Gallie sail away on their way to Spain. Then I remembered my Mom's apple pie, and was excited to get back home.
