Hi Katie! Lollie from Houston here. I was so excited to see another Texan in the Antarctic Seas! I was on the Oden last Nov-Jan. I have been very curious and anxious to "talk" to someone about what it is like down there now that winter is approaching. Is is dark yet? How are you doing on the ship? I will be following your journey with my classrooms. Have a great voyage :) Lollie

Lollie,
Thanks for checking my website and it is also great to hear from another teacher who has experienced this adventure! I am having a great time and am looking forward to setting sail today. It is not dark yet, we will are getting about 7 hours of daylight, not bad! Keep reading and sending questions!
