Hello all! Thanks for tuning in to my blog! I'm not really a diary/journal/blog person, so bear with me here. Hopefully I'll remember to post something cool every once in a while!
Ok. Here's the skinny. I have just over a month left in Colorado - two weeks at the office and two weeks of fire fighting/trauma training near Denver. From there, I will be driving back East to spend time with the family and attend my best friend's wedding! The unofficial/official deployment date is October 17. I'm still waiting on a plane ticket, but I've its in the works. Once I fly to New Zealand, crossing the International Date Line, I'll have an afternoon in Christchurch to get my cold weather gear, and then I'll hop on a plane to McMurdo station. And THEN if all goes well weather-wise, I'll be at the South Pole the day after. Yikes.
I'll be on the Ice for just over a year, returning to the states in December 2011. The last flight out of Pole should be mid-February and we will be 'marooned' there until late October/early November. If you want to send care packages (hint hint*), let me know soon and I'll send you the address - no more mail after February (which means send it now!).
More later....
