Yup, it’s true… this woman (moi) who really, really doesn’t like cold weather is leaving soon to spend 3 weeks in the Arctic.  Crazy, huh?  Well, the good news is that it’s August and the temperatures can reach a balmy 70 degrees so, I’m sure I’ll survive.  Like I did in 2012 I’ll be traveling with my friend, Lois.  I’m so grateful I am able to accompany her!

We start out by flying to Reykjavik, Iceland where we’ll stay over just one night before flying to Kangerlussuaq, Greenland where we’ll get on board the National Geographic Explorer… our home for 3 weeks.

Getting ready for such a big adventure takes a lot of focus and time (you should see all my lists!) so I probably won’t write here again ’til we’re on our way.  I hope you’ll read my posts and send me comments so I won’t feel so homesick :-)!   ~ Love, Claire ~

This ship will be our home for 3 weeks.
