Important Update!

Hey everyone--I am sorry that I have not been able to update lately but it has been a bit crazy here.  This is an IMPORTANT UPDATE for those of you who do not get the parent/family e-mail from SAS.  (for reference we are currently docked in Lisbon, Portugal and will be sailing to Cadiz, Spain tomorrow)

 

                The University of Virginia and ISE staff at the offices in Charlottesville have been monitoring the situation in the Middle East and northern Africa for awhile now.  The situation has unfortunately been escalating and today there were people outside the US Embassy in Casablanca shouting anti-US sentiments.  Therefore, the organization has officially cancelled our stop in Casablanca, Morocco.  Instead, we will be spending two extra days in Cadiz, Spain and additionally we will spend two days in the Canary Islands.  I want you all to know that they are taking care with this situation and that our security is of the utmost importance.
