The Journey Begins
The last couple days have been uneventful, as far as stories go, but I’ll give the run-down for those curious people, just the same. I always get bored reading these things, but I’ve had enough people ask me enough detailed questions that I couldn’t answer that I’m supposing some of you are interested.
So here goes. No, here I go. No, there I went. From Boulder to Denver ala Steve’s taxi service (thanks, Steve) departing Boulder, Colorado, on a gorgeous sunny Sunday (November 17) at 2:30 PM. Perfect climbing weather, fresh snow in the mountains. But I wanna play! Whatever, Steve reminds me. You’re going to Antarctica.
Right. Board a plane and leave Denver at 5:30 PM local time. Arrive LAX 7 PM and immediately find my group. Or, rather, they find me. Nelia Dunbar, Bill Macintosh, Rick Aster, Rich Esser, and Mario Ruiz, all from New Mexico Tech, and Rich Karstens, freelancer (okay, unemployed, like me, except with more money saved) from Seattle who sauntered up about a minute after I did. Step on a plane at 8:30 PM, fly away.
We were seated in different parts of the plane. I mostly slept, and watched a movie called “Bend it Like Beckman.” But we don’t care about long plane rides. Nothing happened. What about Antarctica?
We arrived in Auckland, NZ, at 6:30 AM local on Tuesday, November 19. Gathered bags, went through customs, showed the poor official my stinky kleets so he could determine I wasn’t carrying significant amounts of nasty pollutants on the bottoms, and had a curried lamb pie. The last leg of the commercial flight portion of the journey was a short flight to Christchurch, on the south island, getting us in at about 9:40 AM. The system is so refined that even I could have gotten through it without the assistance of my seasoned veterans. A Raytheon staffperson met us at the airport, explained the basics, and showed us to our shuttle. We all stayed in the same bed and breakfast, with a fat weiner dog named Winnie and bathrobes and a hot water bottle in each room. With the whole day ahead of us. Clothing issue was at two, so we had a couple hours to kill. We shopped and had lunch.
