And I have to apologize for the very, very strange post I added a few hours ago. The internet on board is fabulous, but apparently there was a glitch at some point and my post was truncated, pictures duplicated, and everything was just messed up. Please understand that we are at the mercy of an internet on a ship in the Antarctic Peninsula.
Thanks so much for all your posts so far, my wife and I have been thoroughly enjoying them as we're departing for Antarctica on the eclipse in 18 days. So far all your critiques would be similar to ours and we don't feel in any way that you're acting like a princess haha.
We have a few questions as you've now reached Antartica :):
- What layers did you wear under your parka for your landings? Both you and your husband? Did you feel you needed more or less?
- Do you think it's a good idea to bring waterproof fleece lined socks or do the boots seal appropriately (your socks don't get wet?)
- How cold has it been in Antartica? What's the average temperature? Is there a lot of wind chill?
- Now the hot tubs are open, are they available 24/7 or only at selected times?
- What's the temperature like in the ship? Have you found yourself getting cold or hot? Is it too warm to wear a nice knit for evenings?
- When you have done the landings in Antarctica how long does it take to get to the shore? And how long do they generally allow you to stay there for?
Thanks so much in advance for answering these :). We hope you enjoy every moment!!!
