jealous!
What a trip - it will be a long time before Binning and i will be able to do something like that, hence the jealousy! It all looks incredible, especially A. All well here - cold but bright day and very much back into routine with kids back at school. Hope all continues to go well for you. Anita XO

Happy Travels
Hello, Thanks so much for sending the info - I love the thought of your Xmas, and the vision of the ice and wild life. The boat trip sounds just the best - superlatives are not needed!! Though I am not in the least interested in the discomfort of the coach trip - I'm sure it will be a good experience, and the drive to the old estancia, brings back memories of... well hours and hours of scenery. You know you will need to tells us about it all over again when you get back - AXX

Funny, it's almost as if we were on the Antarctic Dream with you! Your descriptions, photos captured well those great moments we thought were only OURS to appreciate!! Having had that common experience with you now makes the whole thing that much more interesting, fun, unique and humorous. [And thanks for saving the photo of the quick-dry underpants for the end of the trip blog!] Bill and Rachel
