“Hey, any interest in going to Iceland?” asked Katie Farmer, a friend and co-worker at Springs School asked me back in December. “Maybe….” And, after a quick discussion with my husband Gary (who was unfortunately too busy with work to join the adventure) my trip back towards the Arctic began….or did it?
Carry On Only!
After several travels to Alaska, with PolarTREC and my original research team, and bringing WAY TOO MUCH CLOTHING the first few trips, I was determined to pack only what I would actually use. This trip I'd only be gone for one week...so, could I manage Carry-On only! I started packing a week early, so I could "edit" my choices during the week. And the results are shown in the photo below.

Changes in Latitude, changes in Longitude
And now, I’m sitting in JFK Airport at 8:00pm in New York, waiting for my Delta flight to Reykjavik, the capitol of Iceland! Am I headed to the Arctic? Check out the google map below and let me know what you think! After I land in Iceland, I'll be back to let you know!
