It is time to go. My time here has been fabulous, a trip of a lifetime. I have met amazing people, hiked beautiful terrain and seen some of the most spectacular views. I have walked where no other human has ever walked, cross country skied and fat-tired biked. I ran a 5k, collected ice cores and worked with some of the most skilled scientists I have ever encountered. But now, it is time to say goodbye. I will miss my new friends and the sights that Antarctica has offered, but I am anxious to see my family. If I am lucky, I will be home in time to celebrate my eldest daughter's 16th birthday. I have missed much while I have been gone, I don't want to miss any more!
51 more hours and I will be home! It will be a long haul, but will offer time to reflect on this amazing journey. My journals will become a bit sparse over these next few travel days as I am not certain how much time or connection I will have, but I will do my best to offer a window into the journey home!
