Early tomorrow morning we finally get into Salvador. I guess we will have a more elaborate then normal disembarkation process as Brazil requires that each person be cleared through customs on the ship and face to face. This process should take 2-3 hours at which point we have a diplomatic meeting and only then can we disembark. Last night we had a cultural briefing (how to be respectful) and tonight we had a logistical briefing (how to stay alive) so I should be good to go. Tomorrow I get the day to explore Salvador before taking a 7 hour plane ride deep into the Amazon for my 3 night riverboat expedition. I'm really excited and hope I can make it there and back without any problems.
When I get home I think I will drop everything and pursue a career in professional volleyball.

Godspeed to you Bob. Stay safe and travel smart. Sounds as if you must have met my daughter Amanda Veinott. If she is not in class she also is on the volleyball court!!
