Wow! Where did the time go? Just seems you were getting to the South Pole station last week? Hard to believe you are leaving on Friday which is today in North America!

Do you get to spend some time at McMurdo before leaving Antarctica? I'm sure Sarah will be happy to see another Trekker.

Looking forward to your last journals from Antarctica.

Hi Janet,
My time definitely flew while I was down there!  I definitely didn't finish my whole "to do" list. I guess I'll have to figure out how to get down there again!
I only had one night in McMurdo, but got to see Sarah while I was there.  It was good to catch up, and also to hear about Gary's and Heidi's exploits, though they had already made it out to their field camps.  Sarah and I managed to hike up to the top of Observation Hill on Saturday morning and get some good pictures.  I also was able to go out to see Scott's Discovery Hut, which I had missed on my way south due to miserable weather.  No offense, McMurdo, but I think I prefer the South Pole Station... :)
Still working on posting a few last journals, uploading them from here in warm Christchurch, with fast reliable internet connectivity!
