Hi Ms. Herrmann!

I hope you finally got out of Santiago Airport--although it must have been fascnating--and are on your way to Palmer Station. I have told so many peoplee about your travels (or the beginnings!) and everyone is so excited for you. Fortunately, you can keep us all posted on your Antarctic adventures with a million photos = )We miss you already!

Hi Sophie,Thanks for the note. I'm in Punta Arenas now. My bags were temporarily lost, but now they're found Phew! I'm headed to a warehouse to get fitted for my Extreme Cold Weather gear now. I'll post a journal about that later today.
More later,
Ms. Herrmann
