Antarctica

Sat 9 October, 2010

The excitement is building. The pile of woolens and waterproofs are stacked ready for packing. In only four short weeks we will embark on a trip that many dream of. But for you and I it will be very, very real. As the seasons change we can image that in the far south the onset of summer is on the horizon. Lets sample an appetizer of our next great adventure.

Are you ready to jump in?Are you ready to jump in?

I love this picture because it looks  a lot like our family here at blendingtogether. Are you one of those penguins? If this is your first news that we are going to Antarctica, then its time you waddle your way over the snow, and down the path that leads to the water. Its almost time to jump in, and I can't think of any better way than to be supported by a National Geographic Expedition.

If you doubt that we will be jumping into the water, just watch this short video to get your adrenaline flowing... 

It all begins November 7th...

Re: Antarctica

What an amazing adventure!! Looking forward to experiencing it with you Smile

Re: Antarctica

wow, can't wait to get started on this journey, I got my winter gears out already. Lots of Love.

Re: Antarctica

Isn't this fun????   And by now you know that if it Can be done, with relative safety, and a full dose of excitement, then WE are gonna do it.  How can we not go to the one remaining place where there has never been a society or culture... this one is all about EXPERIENCE.  Get ready to breathe it in!!!!  And I'll be on the lookout for those penguin daiquiri's Dave!

This will be an awesome trip. I know I would freeze, enjoy it for me.
