Hello Robin,

My class and I are excited about your trip, and can't wait to follow along. We are wondering what items you will bring that are NOT practical, what fun things will you bring, and will you have time for fun activities,a dn what fun activities will you do?

Hello Jillian and Ricky, Uriel, Ivan, Sonja, Zach, Alex, Jesus, Andrea, Kris, Ryan, and Giavanna!
How nice to hear from you! I am glad you are excited about my upcoming trip - I am too! I am also glad you will be following along, it makes it so much more fun! I know IĀ  truly enjoyed following Ms. Warssam's adventures!
Let's see.... Fun item .... Banana-grams!!! This will be great fun during times when the team gets to "relax" a bit!
Items that are NOT practical.... I honestly can't think of anything at the moment! There is not much room to pack "unnecessary items"; everything has a purpose! I suppose one of the winter hats I'm bringing may not be the "most" practical, but it will remind me of everyone back home, so it's coming with me! I'll try to remember to send a picture of it!
We will occasionally have some time when we are waiting for data to be collected and thus don't have an immediate task. During those times, I hope to take hikes into the surrounding hills and search for some "ventifacts"! I'll keep you posted!
Thanks for checking in! I look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
RobinĀ
