Leaving for the Antarctic

Tomorrow morning, Zib and I begin our journey to Antarctica. We fly from Newark, NJ to Dallas, TX. From Dallas we fly to Santiago, Chile. After landing in Santiago we fly to Punta Arenas. Our boat departs from Punta Arenas on Wednesday. This is our last day on the east coast of the U.S. for a while. We’ll miss it, but we are also ready for something new. Perhaps we will ride out the financial crisis from the comfort of Antarctica. Here is our contact info while we are at Palmer Station.
