Happy Thanksgiving From Antarctica

Happy Thanksgiving From McMurdo Station!

 For those of you who didn't get the memo: yes, we did make it back to McMurdo... barely. It was a stressful month with the government shut-down debacle. We actually learned that our positions were axed at the airport on our way to Christchurch, New Zealand. Nothing like finding out you lost your job from a flight attendant. Long story short, (you all watch the news) we got our jobs back and are here in McMurdo getting back into the Antarctic groove.

I know many of you have been waiting for this blog post and expecting it weeks ago--sorry. I have a lot of pictures and a few stories to report. Like my three day trip to Taylor Glacier where I camped and set up a rac tent right ON the glacier; My trip to Cape Roids--a penguin rookery; And some close encounters of the seal-kind on sea ice patrol. Lots to tell and I promise I will, but for now, cut me some slack I woke up at 5 AM just so I could post these videos for you. Uploading and downloading photos and videos are pretty much impossible during the day because of all the computer users and the limited bandwith. So there you have it--a special Thanksgiving gift from me to you. I am thankful for all of you in my life. I appreciate all the love and support. For those of you I don't know personally who are reading this, thanks for checking out the blog. 

More to come, but for now enjoy our little presentation. I'm going to drink some coffee.
