My second flight was cancelled again. Now we are maybe suppose to leave around 1 am on Saturday. The schedule is really dynamic so I just have to keep checking the web site down here to find out the changes.
Bag Drag is the name of the process for departing McMurdo. It is where you pack everything up and haul it up to a building for them to weigh you and your bags. Your checked bags cannot exceed 150lbs. Then they weigh you and your carry on bag (no limit there).
Once you check your bags you don't get them until you get to New Zealand (even if the flights are cancelled). I Bag Dragged on Wednesday evening, it is now Friday. So I have been living out of my carry on bag. Which I did learn some lessons from other people about keeping extra clothes and supplies, but it does not feel like enough.
This blog documents Jason's trip to Antarctica.
Antarctica is 20 hours ahead of Colorado. For example, if you are looking at this on Monday, the clock above is the time for Tuesday.
