First Post

Dear friends and family,

Thanks so much for visiting my blog! This site allows me to post messages via a direct login to this site (from an internet cafe) or via SMS text message from overseas. I highly doubt that this blog will be the most gripping reading you will do all summer, but I felt that this would be a good way to keep in touch with everyone and let you know what I'm up to. I am so excited for this opportunity to travel to so many wonderful places, and it all begins in two days when I fly with the Virginia Gentlemen to Dubai to begin our three week stint as guest entertainers aboard the Crystal Symphony (pictured in the title image of the blog above).

The VG's have been hard at work preparing about 50 songs to take aboard the Symphony, and as the "Cruise Crunch" winds down, the UVa graduation festivities are just kicking up. Mom arrived this evening and Dad arrives tomorrow around lunchtime. They are happy to be spending graduation weekend on the Lawn, but are less thrilled that I will not actually be attending my own graduation ceremony on Sunday, as I will be boarding the ship across the pond while my classmates walk the Lawn.

This concludes my first blog post- told you it wouldn't be too exciting! Thank you again for checking in. I'm off to VG initiations followed by an early morning filled with packing up my apartment.

Lots of love,

Law
