Now that's a service dog.

I am so happy for you! Now that's a good Christmas present. Dont forget to toast at Shackletons grave.

Thanks

Hmmmm, are you sure South Georgia is closed to ALL landings? As of Dec. 20, many sites were still open. But it is a dynamic situation and things could have changed. Cloud is in Gritviken today. Might want to ask if they landed. Friends landed in Fortuna about 2 weeks ago. But again, things might have changed.

Tough onenp is right. Sending you get well soon, as in really really soon vibes.

Tough news. Any possibility of landings at Grytviken or Fortuna? I believe others have had landings there recently.

Pretty Magnificant is right. Thanks for sharing.

Slightly dated info. https://www.swoop-antarctica.com/cruises/south-georgia/avian-flu I've heard from an expedition member who landed on Fortuna a few weeks ago where there is a big King colony. But it's a rather dynamic situation that may change quickly. FWIW, here is an interesting link to all the South Georgia landing sites. https://gov.gs/visitor-sites/

YAY! Bring it on @shark b8

And the hits just keep on coming. You folks are amazing. Thanks!

Forgot...... Fair winds to you and all on board. May you be blessed with the Drake Lake and many landings. I hear that some landings are being made in South Georgia at Fortuna Bay. Hope that holds. Look forward to your posts.

It's all happening!😃

Some landing sites in South Georgia have been closed due to Avian Flu, but still allowing zodiac only trips. Do you have information that the same is true for some Antarctica landings?

Love that you are in a "No Moss" phase!

Glad I'm not making that decision.

I forgot to add - Even a blind squirl. 😂 Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to you also. And of course to our fearless leader @TLCOhio. Thanks Terry for keeping us informed. Cheers mates.🥂

Exactly! 😃

Fascinating! Have a fabulous voyage. Rather jealous.

Wouldn't that be sweet! You may be right, we may just muddle through this mess with all that sideline cash. As a market contrarian who is always looking over my shoulder, I am now a bit concerned. When the Government powers that be are going the Mission Accomplished route and some even taking a victory lap (ahem, Yellen) - I become rather nervous. AND, how do JPOW & Co. go from NO rate cuts next year to a firm 3 without batting an eye in such a short period? Got my hedgies ready to execute.

Crazy right? Can this next move really take us to 5100 this Spring? If this happens, could be. For all my Gold Bugs....drool and validation. Still plenty on the sidelines. And what the heck is this Fed tool. Looks like a theatre seating chart. Dec plot. Front and center for the rally!

On the Quest avoid 600 & 601. Anchor noise significant. The front windows open to the public deck. They have a one way coating but it is still rather creepy when folks are looking in. You'll only make that mistake once. 😉 If you Google the specific suite, you can often find numerous videos of that suite. Perhaps you have already found some. Use the category name, not the suite number. Remember that the Quest, Sojourn, and Odyssey are sister ships. Rooms and spaces will be very similar. Specific questions about what is or isn't included can only be answered by the cruise line. In general suites near the bow will have the most motion, aft, less so. Center, significantly less. Good Upgrades get snapped up fast.

Hear hear! But it has been made so much easier with your help! In the throws of Christmas travel and chaos also. I've filed all your excellent suggestions and will dig in as the merriment does down. 😁 In an earlier post you asked if I was a Potter. I thought what a strange question. Then the lightbulb went off. Yes, loved all the Potter books, but not the reason for the trip . Might be fun to see a few of the inspirations though.
