Antarctica with Apprehension

[tgh]

You are talking yourself into it.. just relax ,it will probably be like a millpond

…aaaannnnd… just for your peace of mind , I checked out the wind forecast

It will be like a millpond… max 15kts… you won't feel a thing .. relax….

whereas .. T1 (aboard Whisper) will sail at 6pm from sfo into 30kts (forecast) on the nose.. doesn't that make you feel better ?

The long-awaited summer holidays and summer holiday journeys are just around the corner. But with more time and opportunities for passengers to use their smartphones or tablets when traveling, children and adults alike are affected by motion sickness. Over 30 million people in Europe suffer from chronic travel sickness. In response, Citroën, a brand dedicated to comfort, is presenting SEETROËN, the first glasses to eliminate motion sickness. The principle of the SEETROËN glasses is simple. They contain a coloured liquid that recreates the horizon line to resolve conflict between the senses.


FM - are these the glasses you have ordered ??

these are the upmarket version - I have ordered the original ones. Boarding Ring seem to have a deal with Citroen. Couldn’t get these ones either - seems to have been a delay with the manufacturer.

And it’s the final countdown......not many sleeps now. One thing is that you’ll escape the hot weather.

Just been to a New Year’s Day lunch - that’s our last social engagement, tomorrow the Christmas stuff gets put away and then we finish packing. Them upstairs haven’t started yet. I worked out we have 388kgs + hand luggage allowance flying to Santiago. Pity that goes down to 92kg + hand luggage for the charter flight. . I think we will be fine though - after the African trip I have realised how little you actually need . Them upstairs want to take quite a few games though.

Is that really 388kg between the 4 of you?
Edit - ah I see, that was your allowance not what would actually pack! You had me worried there for a moment!

Yes . I just find it amusing that we have such a huge allowance

That's the way I read it at first too so it's not just you

Grr - Mr FM and I are going to be divorced before we finish packing .

Him “ I have 4 shirts - that will be enough won’t it”
“4 shirts for going on the expeditions?”
“ No 4 shirts total”
“You need at least 10, maybe more”
“Why - it’s only 2 weeks and I only took 4 for a month in September”
“Because that was a Safari - this is a cruise - people dress nicely”.
“I don’t like cruises”

Grr

On the plus side, no-one has exceeded 20kg with their checkin luggage yet and that includes a variety of games. Everyone still has toiletries to put in tomorrow, otherwise all ready to go

 

[tgh]

Even less wind forecast now…boooorriinnggg……..
Might blow a bit mid week but you will find plenty of icebergs to hide behind while dinner is served….

 

[Flying mermaid]

Boring is good. I have been using this to check - what do you look at?

On the other hand .... washing every night on cruises plus there are wasting machines. Bon Voyage!
Edit, I meant he’ll do his washing of course.

Actually I’m with MrFM here. MtLtL only takes a couple of shirts for dinners, wears polos etc the rest of the time.
