Awesome blog
Hi Wendy, I'm grateful and happy that you've been blogging about Antartica. It is on my bucket list. Are there any outfitters that you recommend? I'm considering Gap Adventures. Keep up the travelling - I'm green with envy! Cheers Sue

Antarctica
Hi Wendy, I was wondering if you could help me out. I have been having a difficult time trying to find the right company to travel with to Antarctica.
