-Final Stretch-
December 13, 1999 - December 23, 1999

	Kelly performed at the Open Mic Night. Each time we crossed a time zone, we RETARDED.
	During the last stretch Kelly & Shane played chess every chance they got. My smallest class was my computer nerd class, Human Computer Interaction. We all had our own laptops.
	All the people who were done with school after Semester at Sea went through a graduation ceremony and wore international clothing. Kelly wore his jelaba. One of the last nights we had a Miami Pre-port. Here Eric models the Semester at Sea wardrobe dresscode.
	Dean Glatfelter wore his red and white polka dotted hat for the last time at the Pre-port. The day before we arrived in Miami we set all our luggage out and carried it by seas to holding places. I had 13 bags!
	Shane, Kelly, Adam, and I snuck into someone's room in the stern of the ship to take this picture. Hold the mouse arrow over shane's picture to see Kelly.
	Beau Bennett and I stand at the stern under the Winter Solstice moon. Adam Fernandez and I stand on the observation deck at the bow to watch the last sunset of the voyage.
	Adam, Kelly, and Shane show off for the camera.
	Professor Kung and Scott MacLeod were also on the Observation Deck for the last sunset.
	We took advantages of all view points of the last sunset. Reflecting in the ship's floodlight and off the portside bow.
	The last night was a short night, we were up very early as the moon was high over Miami to see the ship come in. I didn't get many pictures of Adam throughout the trip, so I had to include several pictures of him in this page.
	The sunset the morning of our arrival was beautiful and brilliant.
	The Andaman Sea was the last sea off the ship, so Shane and Adam got off before Kelly and me and looked back up at us waving from the Promenade Deck.
	My family welcomed me home with a huge sign from my Vicarious Voyage group, and Kelly's family and Jen were also there welcoming us home.
	My sister and I celebrated Christmas two days after our arrival at my Gramma's house with a homemade tree. I gave her a Vietnamese Ao Dai, so we tried on our matching outfits.
