Departure day! I’m not sure all this has hit me yet, but the excitement and adrenaline are really going now!
Before I go I have to write some thank you notes – to the International Arctic Research Center for inviting me and the Museum to participate in this awesome expedition, to my colleagues at the Museum for being excited about it right along with me, my family and friends for helping in general, and my roommate for taking care of my kitties while I’m gone! This is a team operation!
So my plans today? Head off on a plane across the ocean, to get on a boat across another ocean in a couple days. Wish us well, and I’ll see you soon on the other side of the Atlantic! (But still this side of the Arctic.)
