    Antartica

    28 January – 17 February 2023

    These are the same folks that arranged our Galapagos and Andes Mountain foray Midsized ship for an Antarctic crossing at just below 300 feet. Limited to 112 passengers with 75 member crew.

      I am SO not telling HRH.

          Is she small enough to fit in our luggage. I could say she's our caretaker because we are old.

              She weighs 97 pounds most days. Small, but not luggage-sized, I fear. And caretakers probably still have to cough up the cost.

              I'm not actually sure even a chance to hang with penguins would get her to be away from her dogs for more than a week, but it would be a tough choice. She does love penguins. Petting the penguins was the highlight of a school trip to SeaWorld for her. She also loved feeding dolphins, but we did that a lot. The behind-the-scenes tour of the penguin habitat was a special treat.

                      About nine months out. Started booking flights. Good thing we know Adam. Holy crap, this was not straight forward. Lucked out getting mileage first class from ANC to DFW on Alaska. Then American from DFW to EZE (Buenos Aires) Then a ground transfer from EZE to AEP (different airports in Buenos Aires) because the flight to Ushuaia on Aerolineas Argentinas only leaves from AEP in Buenos Aires. Geez Louise, that was a pain but we are booked.

                              This is excellent for you adventure history buffs. Contains actual footage from the Shackleton voyage. We will be tracing part of his route backwards including the whaling station that eventually spelled rescue for them.

                                  OK, a fellow from Alaska vacations in Antartica.

                                  Maybe he's related to an uncle of mine who lives in Maine and winters in Massachusetts. I don't understand him either, but he did once go birding in Antartica.

                                      Understand geography much? Oh that's right, you're a music teacher.

                                      We are leaving the Alaskan winter in January/February for the Antarctic summer.

                                      The Falklands, South Georgia Islands, and Antartica average mid 50's to mid 60's the time of year we are going.
