Introduction

This blog will track the preparation and progress of a journey from the Antarctic circle near the bottom tip of Argentina to the top of North America via the amazing island of Cuba and many other interesting places along the way such as Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, Paraguay, Panama and the US. Some of the highlights for me will be spending time at Iguazu Falls, experiencing a Boca Juniors football match in Buenos Aires, kayaking with the whales in the Antarctic and attending a screenwriter's conference in Los Angeles!

What do I take on an Antarctic cruise?

The Expedition is the ship I will be on.
She is currently in the harbour of
Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands.
I spent yesterday buying clothing and equipment for the cruise: thermal underwear, a Gortex rain jacket, a beanie, several thick wool socks, sunnies, and also some reusable hand-warmers. I am planning on hiring a down jacket when there, as I do not want to carry this around for the rest of my trip. I am really looking forward to going now, and have been reading different blogs by travellers who have recently been there about what clothes to take and which cameras work best, etc.
