It's true.  Even with all the required fleece, long johns x 2, multiple gloves and glove liners, extra wool cap, socks by the handful and the myriad of electronics we can't leave home without, I managed to zip my small carry on bag and meet the weight restrictions at the airport for my recent trip to Antarctica.

And what a trip it was!  Join me as I blog about this incredible expedition, post photos and offer helpful hints for selecting travel resources, packing for and experiencing this incredible wilderness or any of my other travels to over 80 countries and all seven continents.

We 'll have a great time, whether you are an armchair traveler, or like me can't wait to see what is around the next bend in the road.
