Hi dear Nell. I am having so much fun reading your journals! I especially loved the video of you packing up to go. I know there are more exciting things to come but your video made me laugh. Thank you for that. The part of the journey you are on now seems very stressful to me. I like to go on ferries but I always do so with hidden trepidation (watched Poseidon Adventure at an impressionable age- I will never go on a cruise) so I will be gad to hear that you have arrived at Palmer Station. I love the idea of being down there at the bottom of South America. The pictures looked wonderful and bright an summery. Be safe and enjoy. I hope you are not seasick. Nancy Tamminga
