This journey has been awesome!
18th March, 2008Flat Stanley and I loved visiting the Glacier Martial in Ushuaia and got some last minute shopping in. The Drake Passage was ‘perfect sailing’ according to our Captain; although others got sick, I made it through just fine. The food and the crew have been wonderful; as well as my first roommate, Marianne, from the Netherlands and my second roommate, Sue, from Atlanta. Today, Monday 3-17, I saw my first iceberg which was amazing. It was so beautiful especially with the birds flying around it. Did you all know that some of the birds here fly for 7 hours without ever landing? We passed a pod of whales early this morning too!! Woo hoo! Shout out to everyone: Steve – I love you, miss you and wish you were here! Mom and Dad – thank you for everything – you would love it! Jim, Trish, Ryan, and Zack – thanks for letting me borrow your camera – I hope to return it in one piece. My Kroll Family – thank you for this opportunity – it has been absolutely amazing.
Melissa, I am so jealous of Flat Stanley! He has gotten to see some incredible sights! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING HIM ON THIS JOURNEY. We are looking forward to seeing him when he gets back! Enjoy your travels, Tammy Hayes (Ryan’s First Grade Teacher)

Just got back from my trip so I’m checking in on yours. Mine was shorter, but I’m thinking I probably had better weather. :) So weird to be “talking” to someone in ANTARCTICA right now… Glad you didn’t get seasick, and hope you are having a fantastic time. Take pictures!
