Embarkation Pt. 1.a. - The Bus Ride...again

Met some very interesting people on the bus ride : )

Gordon: a junior at the University of Wisconsin. A nice kid. Very personable. Has a 3 handicap and considering becoming a professional golfer when he grows up! Turns out, he is related to royalty in England and stays at his uncle's castle whenever he visits!

Catlin: I could have sworn she was a student. Very accomplished 27 year old. Graduate of Wesleyan and Harvard. A scientist by trade but on the cruise participating in an entrepreneur incubator. She is co-founder of One Earth - a green company which developed a product to provide rural China with clean energy. Has traveled extensively with her studies including a 6 month stint with the nomads of china as they migrated via the silk route. She suffered some scratches on her hands in which bugs laid their eggs. Hospitalized for feeling ill, the eggs hatched and exited her body from every orafice!

That's only 2 people out of 900+! I think we are in for a real treat on this adventure!
