Nearly twenty years ago, when HMS Endurance pulled into Port Everglades, the seed was planted for this adventure. Since Endurance I have been drawn to that frozen part of our planet, the creatures who call it home, and the stories of the men and women who have walked there. Deep inside where dreams are born I knew one day I would travel to the place some have called White South. I hope that you will come along with me on this exciting adventure.

February 1 ~ Outta here!


One hour until I leave for the airport ~ Backpack 35 pounds - a number of which I will be wearing for the flight from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia; Carry-on 16 (but small enough to NOT be questioned - one would hope). Weight is nothing to worry about for this flight, and it will all get sorted out before the next. That being said, I am as ready as possible and anxious to begin the adventure. See you the next time I have Internet access.
