Arrival to Antarctica is not only cost prohibitive but if travelers-to-be knew beforehand of the discomfort of sailing through the Drake Passage, it may be enough to discourage a few more from making the journey.

What an amazing account!!
Sara, I have always wanted to go to Antartica but now I don't know if I would like all the rough seas. Is that usual? I can't wait to see your next pictures. This is like living your adventure. Thanks. Esther

Bootie Lynn visits another continent
By our calculations, you only have Asia left to visit!! How we admire our traveling daughter!! We are anxiously awaiting your pictures that are to follow in the next blog. As usual, your trip sounded wonderful. Tyler was hoping that you could bring back a live penquin. We will see in in a "few weeks". Stay safe. Baby Ducks!!! Love, Mom and Dad

Don't forget to turn your tag
All you are missing is a tow rope behind the Zodiac and you can practice your wakesurfing. A game you should add to the olympics. The name is beatin' memory. What you do is wait for a group of passengers to leave on a days excusion and once they leave you flip all there tags to green. Then you attempt to remember who's tag was red. The winner is the person who doesn't get beat up because they stranded a person on a freezing island. Good luck. Love the pics and I hope you are having a great time. I am putting in a special request. I would like a pic of a chin strap penguin or a tiger seal. Happy hunting! Looking forward to the next blog. Love you Jeff

You are still my HERO!
I told you I have so much admiration for your spunk and zest for life. I was not aware you were doing this trip. I am still living vicariously through you.....especially on this one! I love hearing from you and am so proud of you. Take care in all of your adventures. (When you are here next, we should go to dinner, my treat.)
