Greetings from down south! I've been to the Antarctic twice since I last blogged and both trips were amazing and both trips visited very different places.

A lifetime well lived
MJ here...my mother had some health problems that prevented her from walking hours on the beach in retirement. That was her dream. We decided to travel before health issues captured our bodies...just in case. We've had no regrets with the amazing things we've seen. We are thrilled with each installment of your blog, the adventures you are having and a life well lived. This trip sounds perfect. Enjoy the exquisite silence.

What a life!
So excellent that you get paid to explore those places few ever even get to visit! Sometimes, it's hard keeping up with you--Arctic, Antarctic--where is he? Love these little Chinstraps who seem to have little smiles. Thanks for letting the rest of us glimpse your magical worlds!
