In February, Los Gatos residents Carol and Jim Graham took an 18-day trip from Argentina to Antarctica that included landings on the Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island, South Orkney Islands and several stops, Jim says, on the actual Antarctica continent.
It's a long haul 20+ hours of travel time from the Bay Area but all in all, it was a once in a lifetime event, an amazing adventure filled with dramatic land vistas, views of rare wildlife, that was absolutely spectacular.
Don't overpack. A water-wicking base layer and a light overlayer works just fine. But make sure your gloves are waterproof! The cruise line supplies you with boots, pants and gives you a really nice two-layer parka to keep.
If you are susceptible to motion sickness, bring some seasick patches' for behind the ear. Join the fun! Send a photo of yourself on your latest adventures, local, domestic or abroad.
