Yup - I am off to Antarctica next weekend!
Should be an amazing trip - co-hosted by National Geographic with an emphasis on wildlife photography. I have 58gb of memory cards packed with my camera!
DH hates cold weather (as do I!) and refuses to go so he will stay home with the dogs. Not sure what I am more stressed about - going through Drake's Passage on an icebreaker or leaving DH to care for my "kids" :rofl:
My trip starts here in Raleigh and I travel on to Dallas and then overnight to Santiago - all on American Airlines (this is how I use my AMEX Rewards points). Then we take a charter from Santiago to Ushuaia, Argentina where we board the ship. Communications via internet and satellite phone are possible (but spotty) and the ship has internet access in every cabin so I bought a little Acer computer - we'll see.
So keep your fingers crossed that my body and my baggage make it to Santiago on the same day! And no fair picking up great TS deals on EBay when I am not looking!
