It is getting closer to when I am scheduled to fly to New Zealand which is the first stop on my way to McMurdo Station Antarctica. Since I am going to be at the station for three months or more, I have a lot of packing to do. There is one store at McMurdo Station that has a few items like toothpaste, soap and shampoo and over a thousand people visit the store. I am bringing everything I need so that I won't have to rely on the store too much. I can only bring about 140 pounds of luggage from home as 150 pounds is the maximum and that includes extreme cold weather gear that I'll pick up in Christchurch, New Zealand. I pack clothing like I am traveling to a cold weather camp for a week. It works well as we stay in dorm rooms that are nice and warmer than the outside temperatures.
I look forward to answering any questions you may have while I'm there.
Cheers!
So glad we get to follow along with you on your journey! Safe travels! Girl Scouts of Colorado
