(Marian’s Antarctica diary!) This is a very long ‘piece’ and it’s written in a diary format. I’m just telling you this so as you can ‘pace’ yourself. DAY ONE Greetings from the Heathrows, where I am a nervous wreck! Yaze! The flight from Dublinland was delayed coming in, and there are only two and a half hours before the flight leaves for Buenos Aires, and I have A VERY REAL fear, founded in FACT and empirical PAST EXPERIENCE, that my suitcases won’t make it to Argentina and I will be in the Antarctics without: 1) Thermal warm clothing 2) My anti-mad tablets I’m so convinced that this is going to happen that I’ve bought a notebook and a pack of three (3) pens from the WHSmith to draw up a list of all the things I will need when I get to Ushuaia (the world’s most southerly city, and not hot like you might think when you hear the word ‘southerly’, no, not hot at all, but actually very, very cold). Those of you who know me will know that on planes my bags fail to turn up more often than they arrive.
What do You think about Making It Up As I Go Along?
