Last Post from the ICE (hopefully!)
So after a few weather delays, it looks like we’ll be getting out of here tomorrow morning. Hooray! I’ve had a great season, but I’m ready to get back to trees, grass and furry animals that aren’t seals.
The one caveat is that while loading the plane today, someone poked the plane with a forklift. Ooops. Hopefully that won’t mean we have to stay another night, but we shall see. They did let the plane fly back to Christchurch, so it bodes fairly well.
Thanks for reading my blog and for everyone’s great support this season! When I get back from my vacation in New Zealand, I’ll hopefully put up some pictures from that trip.
Hope you have a safe trip and a wonderful time in New Zealand. Love, Mom, Dad, “the girls” and Sita
Oops! Hope they didn’t leave the forklift hanging off the side when they flew back …
Congrats on surviving a season in one of the strangest and least hospitable places on Earth! Top class. Sounds like you had a fantastic time of it, and it was great getting to enjoy the time vicariously. Of course, Sita will take one look at those photos, decide you must *still* be cold, and spend the next three months trying to warm you back up again. =D (The kids sure need their lap time whenever I come back in from the ice up here …)
Travel safe, and have a blast out there in EnZed and all the way back home!

Well said, Dave!
Well if all is well you should be in Christchurch already. Back to the land of the hobbits, elves, and dwarves!
Have a good tour of the country, I’m 100% jealous!
