Travel on National Penguin Awarenss Day

So this is the beginning of an adventure. What kind of adventure, we don’t even know! It’s a bucketlist item with a friend of 30 years. What’s gonna happen? We don’t know. What’s the theme of this blog? I don’t know yet. It will be determined when inspiration strikes.
This introductory chapter is the beginning of our journey. Lindsay and I agree on this, the vacation starts the minute we walk out our door into our car and start towards the airport. Come along for the ride!
I guess some context is needed. This is Lindsay‘s seventh continent (her final one). It’ll be an extremely exciting moment for her. The goal is to actually step on the continent not just see it from the ship (as many an intrepid cruiser has done). We planned this trip (with our cheerleader Michael egging us on) for a long time. We opted to pick the best week for weather and Drake passage, affording us a chance of landing. We went with one of the best cruise ships. It’s an Expedition Ship that can stay in Antarctic waters the longest time, so that she mostly makes landfall. That being said, life guarantees us nothing. We don’t know if it’ll happen. We hope it happens. We paid a lot of money to make it happen, but mostly we are embracing the anticipation. It will only be my sixth continent, so sadly not quite the celebration Lindsay will experience. I am lacking African continent so…
Today was a “repositioning” day. We completed our first leg of 3 days of travel. Calgary to Toronto. We have a 23hr layover. So, just got into the Toronto Airport Hilton for an overnight. I will visit my inlaws tomorrow and then back to airport for evening flight to Buenos Aires. Nothing exciting to report so far …
DISCLAIMER…. This is a bucketlist trip and we are both grateful for the opportunity. We chose to travel highend for both comfort and better chance at completing the adventure and if you know Lindsay, you know flying is always a special experience. We live in gratitude, but this is the last mention of the blessing and extravagances for the duration… no apologiesLue lisÀÀ
