Helping Haiti!!

     Hey Folks!!! Haiti needs our help! Act Now!! There are many ways to do it and everyone can!!

     I helped raise some money for the Haiti people during my vacation. You know how I did it? First, I wrote a letter to Star Princess’s cruise director J.J. and this is what I wrote:

Dear J.J.,

My visit to Kay’s B&B Falkland Islands

    When we arrived to Falkland Islands, we first went to visit a place called Kay’s B&B.  It is a home-stay with a beautiful garden.  My mom called Kay a few weeks ago to ask if she could help us get tickets for a very popular tour.  She was real nice.  She tried very hard but they were all sold out long ago.  But we were still lucky to be able to visit this nice lady and her lovely garden.

MAGIC CLASS ON BOARD

Tell you what!  On the ship, there was a magician!!  His name was Greg Moreland and he even has his own website!!  It is www.gregmoreland.com.  He is a great comedy magician. He is one of the coolest magicians I’ve ever met.   Check out his videos on youtube.  Guess what else he did on the ship?  He was Star Princess’s Magic teacher!!  He taught us how to do these magic tricks: The Royal Hotel, Mississippi Shuffle, The 4 Burglars, Band up the Nose, Pen up the nose, etc.  

Rockies in Stanley-Falkland Islands

    Today (1/29) was SO COOL!!!  We were just planning to walk around the island because all the tours we wanted were sold out.  But me and my mom were really lucky to get 2 tickets because someone gave up at the last minuet.  It's a tour to see ROCKHOPPER penguins and guess what? We had to go on a bus and then to a 4WD which was really, really bumpy and on the way there, we had to sit on the back, back seat and it was the bumpiest seat in the whole car.

Punta Arenas

   
    Guess what? I just saw a bunch of Magallanic Penguins out there!! In fact, UP CLOSE!!! This is how it started, it is January 27, 2010, I went to Punta Arenas!!  It is this cool place that is in Chile. Or better said COLD place in Chile.

Antarctica News

    I am in Antarctica already or past it but this is so cool!! It is January 26, 2010. I’ll tell you about it, after me and my family got on the ship “STAR PRINCESS, we sailed to Antarctica but we actually didn't step on it.  We saw some magnificent glaciers on the islands surrounding the Antarctic Penninsula.  Also, we saw a TON of icebergs floating around, one even kind of had a swimming pool!

And the best part was that WE SAW A FEW PENGUINS HANGING AROUND THERE!!!  I think they were Gentoos, but, we just saw them through binoculars so it was not very worth it.  BUT, tomorrow I am going to Punta Arenas and probably I’m gonna see a few penguins CLOSE UP.

Next, I am going to Falkland Islands and go on this awesome tour and they say that we are going to see a few penguins.  I guess that is all for this time! =)  See ya!!!
