If you haven’t caught on, I am having a hard time letting go of Antarctica. I think this should be the last post on the subject. I have some cool things to write regarding my hike in Patagonia but haven’t felt ready to write them down.

The PeopleAs you can imagine, the type of people who were on our cruise were an eclectic, well-traveled group of characters with great stories. For crying out loud, they signed up to run a marathon on Antarctica. Why wouldn’t they be?

The Drake PassageI wouldn’t do justice to the Antarctica blog if I didn’t mention the Drake Passage. I was warned by the handful of people that I know that have gone to Antarctica to be wary of the Drake Passage. Each of them had severe cases of seasickness. They each counseled that I should take [...]
I have received a number of e-mails asking me if the ½ marathon was the highlight of the trip or at least of my Antarctica experience. Though it was the reason for us coming to this part of the world, I can safely say that it will be a great story but does not [...]

I am currently on the third leg of a four day hike in Torres Del Paine (Patagonia.) With the beauty of postdating you are getting this wonderful post. I did not get much time nor space on the bus to do any writing so I made a slide show to [...]
Dear Gentle Reader,
I am still on the way to the world without internet so posts will be limited. Here is another incredible video that my cabin mate and I worked on while we were on the boat. It was one of those "being in the right place-at the right time" moments. I guess the penguin [...]
Dear Gentle Reader,
I am finally back on land from my incredible adventure to Antarctica. It was a moving experience for me and I am looking forward to sharing it with you. Unfortunately I will be heading to Torres Del Paine to go hiking and won’t have access to the internet for another week. From what [...]
I have had a few of what I call small world experiences while on my journey over the past two months. I mentioned in previous blogs how I bumped into a friend from the dorms at MSU in Antigua, Guatemala and how I sat next to a couple that I had tailgated with at the [...]
