My fav. sites by other SAS students from past voyages:

My favorite blog I think so far is Frank's Semester at Sea on Blogspot ( http://frankatsea.blogspot.com/ ) even though he sailed in 2006 he saw a lot of the same places I'll be going to and it's so hilarious and well-written.
Other honorable mentions include:

Also, Cassie and Amy two of my best friends are sailing with me and they're keeping blogs as well: Cassie = http://cassiegrooversas09.blogspot.com/ and

Here's a link to an outside double room - the same kind I'll be staying in: http://www.msnusers.com/SemesteratSeaFall2005/detailedcabinphotos.msnw


And here's some of my favorite youtube videos on SAS:

This youtube video shows a ship tour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hq6CdIj2Ak it's pretty good but a little shaky so don't make yourself nauseus trying to watch it - I plan to take lots of photos of and off the ship (though the more I read about the internet connection on the ship the more it seems like I won't be able to really upload any large files and I'm charged also by the amount of data I send and recieve - which also means if you all email me videos or pictures I probably won't be able to view them until I'm at an internet cafe in port.)

Here's a ridiculous clip from Storm Stories that shows interviews and footage taken when a big storm took out the entire control panel and rocked the ship - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DBGhXI586k

And the three-part series of videos a guy named Tyler made showing his adventures throughout the ports - I've been messaging him on and off since I first heard about Semester at Sea and he's been incredibly helpful. 1.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG9b9aBJH28 2.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrK525jQ1e8&feature=related and 3.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCUR9Whd2-I&feature=related They're really really wonderful and definitely helped to solidify how much I wanted into the program.
