This time we are really leaving!

It's 9pm Saturday night, and I just got a call and now its on for real. WE have to be ready in 20 mins to fly to take opportunity of a weather window in Antarctica.... I have to rush.....

This is my last Blog posting using the luxury of 'normal' internet connections. Once I land in Antarctica I'm restricted to satellite phone communications, and so things will be quite different.

If you are wanting the most up to date and 'instant' news from the ice, this maybe a good time to switch to following me on 'My Diary", which you can find at http://blog.mailasail.com/southpolesolo My daily position will appear on Google Earth on this site. The same info will be available on this blog, although there will be a slight delay in posting the daily reports. If thie delay isn't an issue for you, just continue tracking me on THIS blog. It's up to you...

Talk from Antarctica....

Hey ths is exciting!
