Viewing Post for: Antarctic Adventure

Date: January 6th, 2017
Location: Punta Arenas, Chile

Yes! We are all here!

Some of us just barely made the connections due to delays but everyone made them.

We are in Patagonia. A vast, damp, beautiful part of the world. The water was a deep blue and calm as we drove from the airport into town.

Despite being tired from the overnight flight we explored town. Found a great restaurant to sample the seafood and other dishes. Some of us had scallops other king crab.

All are very excited for our flight to the Falklands tomorrow to meet the ship.

Lise, Garret, Charlie and I are waiting on tenterhooks for your touchdown in Antarctica! Garret was talking about "the bottom of the world," and Charlie said, "Garret, YOU are the bottom of the world!" Hoping that you're already taking a bunch of pictures, and we'll be watching the live updates here to see everything you're up to along the way! Love from all the Tanis boys! (Bianca is asleep!)

Hope your having fun, it's summer down there did you remember your sun screen and bikini? I heard they have a new outlet mall if it gets too hot for you, it's a good place to cool off. Enjoy Joe

Hi Susan!! Although it looks like a fabulous trip, I'd never do it. I'd be in WARM climates in my bathing suit by the pool or on the beach. Be safe, have a blast, and can't wait to hear about it. You go, girlfriend!! Jo Lynn xoxooxo

I've got your messages and I'll follow up your trip via the blog. I'm wondering if you'll walk the same way when you'll be back home. Seeing all those penguins "walking" might be a bad influence...be careful :-) Have a great time and lots of fun.

Hope you are having an amazing time... Would so love to visit Patagonia one day. FYI: my brother Rick holds the record for the most tours to the Falkland Islands during the Falkland war!! Also, our family piano, the one I practiced on as a child, was airlifted to the Falklands for the entertainment of the troops and may still be on the island. Enjoy and have fun!!

I hope that you were able to figure out the camera during your long hours on the plane...you will get the hang of it once you start using it. Love you! Bianca
