Hi Lise! Sounds like a fantastic trip so far. Hope your camera is taking great pics. I'm doing ok, still a little tired but feeling good. We'll have Vince over for dinner soon! Enjoy all the sights. Will check in with you again xxxx

For: Lisa C

Hi, Hope you are having a great adventure. We miss you. But enjoy. God bless SICU( Goodsam)

For: Kathy

Thinking about you and your journey this week as we woke to 2 cold mornings in Boston at 0F and 5F, which may be warm days for you when you get to Antarctica. Had beautiful powder snow for a few days to enjoy, but now its January thaw. Hope you are enjoying the sea voyage and stops as you approach you destination. Heard on NPR about Antarctic Ice Sheet melting and thought about how transient and valued will be your views of the ice.

For: Jennifer Gold

Hi Jen. Disappointed for you all that you couldn't land at Elephant Island, but still fascinating that you got to witness it with your own eyes and I'm sure you appreciated the experience that you did have. I know you're that kind of person. And today you finally did land and set foot on Antarctica. How lucky! Sounds like you had a great time on Penguin Island and it was worth the effort of getting there. Will keep following your updates. Be safe. Have fun. Thinking of you, Jack xox
