The time has finally arrived. I'm leaving for Antarctica tomorrow. I still don't think it has sunk in that I'm going to Antarctica for 2 1/2 months despite all the moving, planning, and packing. I'm glad to nearly be done packing. You don't realize all the little things you need to take until you're going to a place where you can't just go to the store. Anyway, I don't know that I have much to say about all of this but felt obligated to write one more post before I leave, so wish me luck and see you in a few months.

Again, we are sooo excited for you! Have a great time. We will miss you at T-giving! (I'm sure you'll be missing Mema and G-daddy's YUMMY cooking-especially mashed potatoes- about that time!)
You'll be in our prayers,
Aunt Stacy and the Garden Gang

Kate: i just assumed he was going south.
Elan: oh
no
you can go through chile
Kate: not like.. across the globe and south
Elan: but his research station is on the other side of the continent
which is actually really big
Kate: you cant fly right over the pole?
Elan: well, the weather's not great
Kate: yeah but you're above it
Elan: and I don't think it's faster
antarctica is like, twice as big as australia
Kate: which is large
Elan: I mean, it's a straight shot either way
north/south is arbitrary
he'd have to fly south, then back up again to get to mcmurdo
Kate: i'm not going anywhere that jetblue doesn't fly
Elan: haha
Kate: that's motto #10
