About 20 months ago Kristin and I (well ok, mostly me) decided it was time to make our trip to Antarctica a reality. We booked our Antarctic Classic trip with G Adventures back in July of 2013, and then we waited, and waited (and waited). And now, amazingly, it's finally time.
Our bags are packed with lots of merino wool and seasickness remedies. We are ready for a real adventure. We have a couple of nights in Buenos Aires, before flying to Ushuaia (the most southern city in the world). From there we will embark on our ship and cross the Drake Passage (reputed to be the roughest sea in the world) and then we have four days of exploring the Antarctic peninsula by zodiac landings. Locations of the landings are dictated by weather and ice conditions, so we don't know specifically where we will be exploring. But we are looking forward to icebergs, penguins, whales, and seals! Then back across the Drake and back to Buenos Aires for a couple of days of relaxation (on land!).
Thanks for following along on our adventure!
Sounds like an amazing adventure! Here's to a safe and fun trip with little (to no) sea sickness. I will be thinking about you everyday!!! xo AK
ReplyDeleteWe're following along already, and see that your flights were all pretty much on time. What a long haul from the top to near the bottom of the world, imagine you will need the extra day to catch up on sleep. Love you lots and lots. XX00
