Anna
We are heading off to Newport today after sending the kids off to the grandparents in Cleveland. We picked up our latest crew at the airport last night, and we are ready to go! I found Anna's journal after she had gone with her final entry, and felt it summed up things better than we could. Next update from the US!!

This is it people - this is it! Man that went by fast, don't you think? It was only yesterday that we gracefully sailed into St. John with Roth and Matt...
First of all I'd like to thank my parents for making this trip possible. I'd also like to thank Matthew for being my opponent in Mario Karts. Mimi and Gimlet for taking care of us for a week. Noel, Roth Matt, Amelia and Grant for helping us with passages. Katie for letting me go for a year (I owe you one). All of our cruising friends for making it more fun, and all of the fish and conch that gave us their lives. And last but not least, the French bakery chefs that made baguettes and all the other wonderful things that are all so... wonderful! What a year!
