Hi Team,
Just a quick post from Wellington Airport (gotta love free wireless!).
I'm here waiting for my plane to take me to Christchurch. This afternoon we get kitted out with all the extreme cold weather gear that we need to survive in the hostile conditions.
Then first thing tomorrow morning (assuming the weather in Antarctica is looking OK), we'll be boarding our plane, and will be southbound! Exciting times!
I've been asked by a few people how I'm feeling about the trip. It's really hard to explain- I'm not nervous about it, because I've been there before, and done all the prep I can do. I'm kinda excited, but not overly, partly because it's come up so quickly I still can't really fathom that in just over 24 hours i'll be on the ice.
I think the strongest feeling is confidence. Confidence that I'm reasonably prepared, and that I'm going to one of the places I feel comfortable. Scott Base is an amazing environment- everyone is there to have a good time, and are ready and willing to help you get your tasks done.
I can't wait!
