ALMOST THERE

12/26/2019

Idaho media have been so very kind. There have been several radio interviews, a few newspaper articles and recently Local News 8 did a piece. (In the interview, I mentioned that naturalists from Australia and Germany were accompanying us. A small twist in this report has me going to Australia. While I'd love to visit this beautiful place, my embarkation destination is Ushuaia, Argentina.) Thank you Idaho for all your support. Nine hours until I board the plane!

CAN'T SLEEP

Once again, I can't sleep. No, it is not because there are weird noises in my house this late at night (12:37 am), nor is because there is a wind storm out my window (typical for Rexburg). My mind just can't quite down and drift off into la-la-land. Do you think it has something to do with anticipation? You know, the kind of expectancy that comes from looking into the uncharted? Maybe if I close my eyes, search my senses for the rocking motion I expect to feel on the National Geographic Explorer in one short week, I will drift off into a vacant place in my mind. Wait! What if I have forgotten to pack something I really really need? 😆

My 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-grade students at Hibbard Elementary have been doing some preliminary research about Antarctica. They decided to find some unusual facts to get me excited about this Lindblad/National Geographic Expedition! Antarctica: The White Continent awaits!
