I Love You Thiiiiis Much!
This is a gentoo penguin; one of the many life forms I'll be seeing shortly as I abandon the cause at home and take wing (hopefully with slightly more loft than this fellow can generate) and head southwards to Antarctica.
Yes, the business is sleeping. Yes, the house is going on the market. Yes, I am so tired of packing and cleaning I could just scream. But I know a secret, and that secret is that as of about 8:30 am on Wednesday, I'll be on a plane to Buenes Aires and all of normal life as I currently know it will be a pleasant memory for the next three weeks.
Our route will be quite exciting - and if you're interested you can take a peek at the itinerary at http://www.norwegiancoastalvoyage.com/tours_antarctica3.asp. The good news is things start out with a bang, as we're attending an Evening of Tango our first night in South America. Hopefully, this will really be a performance, without the audience participation such events sometimes encourage. Its been years since I've danced, and though I still harbor deep hopes that Alan will one day want to learn, it isn't on the current agenda and I'm sure that I've grown two left feet in the interim.
I'll have Internet connectivity on board ship, and will try and post a bit of this and that as we journey across Drake Passage and into the heart of Antarctica. The trip should provide a much needed break from all that has gone before us most recently, and a refreshing opportunity to hit the ground running upon our return.
I wish you all well in my absence, and Bon Chance!


Oh dear! Again with the house? Well, things will work out in the end, I'm sure.
If I don't talk with you before you leave, you have an EXCELLENT time and leave the heartache behind.
And please, please, do post on board ship. We would so enjoy it!
Yoda!
