And we are off to the adventure! We gathered at Madison's airport with family to begin the trek down south. Lots of smiles and good wishes from the families who came to say farewell,

and also some sad sad faces, particularly from my kids. They still have fresh in their minds that last time I left for Antarctica it took me three months to get back. Long tome to be away from the family. This time is shorter, but I will still miss them.
Diego is sad to see dad go to Antarctica.
And now we are in the airport, honing down our skills for the adventure, writing journal entries, taking pictures and videos of the wildlife, while we wait for the plane to get fixed.

We are not that concerned about time. We have a five hour layover in Atlanta, and Madison's airport is calmer that Atlanta's, and it has free internet. We are doing well; Claire brought a large box of girls scout cookies to share with the Chileans, so we are set for a while.
We are not too concerned about the delay at Madison's airport. We have enough Girl Scout cookies for a while.
