Antartica
We're here! It was quite a journey, but well worth it. Absolutely breathtaking. Landed just as a 40+mph gust hit, but our pilots handled it skillfully. Took over 60 seconds to stop....it was quite a ride.
We're getting our gear sorted to take off for the pole. More later...

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL NEWS !!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY.

Keep those feet warm, and remember there's a lot of very supportive "energy" on it's way from England to you all.

Hello Team Polar Opposites!
Very exciting :) We've been waiting for this fabulous news on the edge of our seats and are so pleased that your trek is underway.
Naomi, we are thinking of you LOTS and LOTS. Sending you heaps of warmth, prayers and love, Umar and Sarah xXx
We are so thrilled! Kathy, Grandpa Kerbs must be grinning from ear to ear! May God be with all of you.
Hey kid, you are living a life that most of us mere mortals only dream of. Who would have known when you first put on skis and used the rope tow on the Bunny run at Pomerelle that it would begin a journey which would lead to Anarctica.
Grandpa Braegger would have had his chest pushed out as far as possible when he told people of his grand-daughter. Grandma Braegger would be proud also, but would be shaking her head in disbelief.
All My Love, Pop
Right On!!! So glad to get the news! Take good care of yourselves and enjoy every moment. We are all sending oodles of prayers and support. Thanks for letting some of us experience this vicariously. Enjoy the Journey!!
Much Love,
Coni
Hi Josee and Crew;

Congratualtions on arriving in Antarctica! I check your blog regularly.
Good Luck on your expedition.

Kathy, Superb!! Your dad and mom were so right in saying how proud both of your grandfathers would be! Those of us living are equally as proud and in awe. Love you and good luck, Aunt Ruth
Congrats KB, I still get tears in my eyes when you go on these silly trips. I'll have to dust off the globe tonight to really see where you crazy girls are at this time, at -18 degrees. I still talk to Miller everyday and he assures me that he is watching over you from his polar opposite (aka.. the Moon if you don't remember).... Love and Warmth from the Hood-
I think I was holding a collective breath as we waited to hear. Some of my students said "yes" when they heard you guys made it. Funny, that's what I said when I read the blog at 6 a.m. this morning. Be careful and enjoy every second. Good luck to your whole team.
Carol
