On Friday I leave for 12 days in the Arctic - think polar bears, not penguins. I am traveling as a Grosvenor Fellow which means this is a gift from National Geographic and a great company named Lindblad travel. When Gil Grosvenor turned 75, Sven Linblad gave him these trips as a gift.
The trip is going to be so exciting and I look forward to all I will experience. You can see the amazing ship and all that Lindblad puts into their environmental travel experiences at www.expeditions.com
I'm hoping to post during my trip when we have connectivity. I'll fly to Oslo and meet up with the rest of the people on the trip. Sara from Texas, a middle school teacher and I will be travelmates. From Oslo we fly to Svalbard/Spitzbergen. We then board ship for seven days of exploration of the region. I'm looking forward to learning about the environment and getting up close and personal with kyaks, zodiaks, and fjords.
I'd love to have you follow my posts!
