Friday, November 28th, Adventure Way Down Under Begins

Greetings!

We're making lists, gathering and washing clothes, and finishing travel books.   We have one large National Geographic book on Antarctica which we will take (boy is it heavy) and donate to the boat. With all the warm weather clothes, we may be a bit over the weight limits.

Here's a link that will show you our itinerary, the ship, and our cabin.  Click on the "On Board" tab.  One the next screen, click on the "Menu" in the lower left of the 360 degree photo, then click on the "Suite F2" option.  Our cabin is F2 number 515, on the fifth deck.  It'll be our home away from home for the voyage.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to upload photos and daily commentary until we return.  If possible, I'll post some info on the way to the ship, or on the way back.

Saturday, November 8th, Preparing for Antartica

Greetings!

Ever since we got back from Southern Africa, our joys of that trip have been competing with our anticipation of gong to Antartica next month.  Dave Forde, an incredibly talented and enthusiastic traveler who we enjoyed while in Africa, shared his photos and stories of Norway's Hurtigruten MV Fram expeditions.  Learning they were going for 21 days in December, we booked passage.

Here's a link to the expedition which left a short time ago:  Antartica.
