After a 14 hour flight to Sydney (only caught a glimpse of the harbor through the plane window) and a 2.5 hour hop over to gorgeous (but unfortunately not sunny) New Zealand, I am almost on my way to the "Ice" (and hoping my checked luggage shows up tomorrow-ugh).Ran into many other USAP participants en route. Tomorrow morning we will report for ECW (extreme cold weather gear) issue at the Antarctic Center and will have the afternoon free to explore Christchurch (ventured out to a nearby pub for dinner and I am already in love with this city). Will try to post photos tomorrow (the jet lag is currently starting to set in...). Happy New Year!
P.S. I wish I had an Australian accent...and mad props to Qantas Airlines for great service (they even serve ice cream!...it's the little things that make me happy...)
