A year has past and the temptations of the (nearly) forgotten frozen continent have lured me back. This year with great excitment Melissa came with. It has been a great journey so far. We left August 17th for Denver Colorado, we were there for three nights before we departed for Los Angelos to New Zealand. Once in Christchurch, we went through all of our training and gear issue. Weather was on our side and we were delayed in Christchurch for an extra day, oh darn.
Our flight left Christchurch on August 25th at 7am. The ride was smooth without issues. We arrived on McMurdo base at about 12:30, the sun was just setting. Once here we had lunch and a brief overview of the happenings, then issued room keys and we were off to do our thing.
Our dorm this year is called Hotel California, a small walk, but nice and quiet. We hope to move closer to the "hub" if you will come October or mainbody for those who know the ice lingo. Today is Sunday August 26th and we are all settled into our room with a day off to do as we desire.
