It's hard to believe but a week from today I'll be boarding an airplane in Redmond, OR and heading off to Christchurch, NZ, arriving on October 2. And two days later, after some orientation and getting my Extreme Cold Weather clothing, I'll head to McMurdo Station in Antarctica (lovingly known as the "Ice"). There I will spend the next four and a half months as a shuttle driver. I'll explain more about my job in a later post, once I know more.
