ANTARCTICA
Surviving the Drake Passage means "good fortune" for a successful trip. Antarctica has it all: mountains, icebergs, marine life and of course penguins. The summer season means about 24 hours of daylight. Our ship, the Polar Star is a renown icebreaker. We went where only a few ships could go, and with our zodiac boats we saw it all.
I loved the "chicks" and watching their mothers build nests and feed them. We saw plenty of whales, seals, and beautiful glacier formations. If you can withstand a few "rocky moments", the trip is worth it. We encountered 27 foot swells for three days.
My dream of being on seven continents and visiting 140 countries has become a reality. I give thanks to God for being with me on my "interesting" adventures and helping me return safely to my home.
