Viewing Post for: Antarctic Adventure
Date: Saturday, January 7, 2017
Location: Falklands Islands, North of the Drake Passage
Heading through night through
the passage. Wow! We are on our way!
We flew to the beautiful Falklands Islands
and bused 35 miles to the main town of Stanley. These unique islands, hundreds
of miles from land are windswept, desolate and beautiful. 3000 people make their
homes on mainly 2 of the 700 islands.
The ship is perfect. There are 7 levels.
The highest ones are open decks. We cast off about 7 pm. After a very short
passage with penguins we hit open ocean. The ship is already rolling and
rocking. We all are taking some type of medication.
Let you know tomorrow how
it works. Excitement level is high.
We look forward to sharing our adventures.

Are you turning into a penguin? I just wanted to add you to one of my mindless conversations that I usually have with Paula....or my dog, Roscoe!

I cannot imagine what you day is like, how very exciting. I imagine the ship was a riot, maybe not the best kind with the medication need, but what a great experience.

Hi Mom, I hope that you managed to get some sleep despite the waves. We are so excited for you and the rest of the group to see what lays ahead. Everyone is sleeping in this morning and the house is very quiet. We had a little snow last night and the temps have been in the low 20s. The chickens are refusing to come out and we have all been avoiding spending too much time outside. We are wimps! Anyway, take lots of pictures, we are looking forward to seeing them when you get back. Love, Bianca

Your travels sound terrific and I'm having a geography lesson at the same time! 7 is a lucky number, so hopefully all will enjoy the many layers of the ship and your rocking and a rolling will be more from the Rolling Stones than the heavy seas.

Great that you got to see some of the Falklands in getting to the ship, which sounds lovely. Now the real adventures begin. Hope the waters weren't too rough and that you got some sleep. Looking forward to hearing all about it - take many photographs and I'm sure there will be a blog post or two that you could write. Have the most amazing time, and be safe! Will be thinking of you.
