Getting ready for our adventure

Well we are almost packed, just the last few things to put in. Marion ran a check-list as we tried to ensure that we did not forget anything. It is the first time that we have taken three suitcases on a holiday, but we are travelling from 30deg centigrade to below freezing, as well as having the gear for Antarctic landings.

It is fair to say that we are very excited, and also a little nervous not knowing what to expect from our first experience of cruising, let alone a visit to Antarctica.

I will keep a daily blog of our trip on this site, but be aware that it may not be posted every day as I am not sure what type of internet connection I will have. It may also not be possible to upload photographs immediately.

Seabourn maintain a voyage tracker with commentary and photographs. This can be found at https://my.yb.tl/seabournexpeditions/ there is a drop down menu on the top left and you simply access the latest voyage in 2018 from Buenos Aires. We actually set sail on Saturday 13 January. Our ship is the Seabourn Quest.

Appropriately here is a photo of the flag of Antarctica that Thomas gave to us.



Bon Voyage.
