The journey begins ... at RDU airport's Park and Ride lot. As it has been for several years, parking at RDU is spread over miles of remote lots. Mom and I set out for Antarctica in matching homemade sweatshirts. They were an instant hit once we linked up with our fellow cruise passengers in Miami. We quickly realized we should have asked my sister, Chrissy, to produce enough to sell -- maybe it would have helped pay for the trip! Inside the rest of that luggage is an expedition's worth of gear -- REI thermal underwear, knee-high boots, cameras and film in plastic freezer bags, a photography book so I could cram on the way down. |
