Heyo,

Figured I'd drop a line while I'm waiting for yet another briefing before my flight. It's a bit cruel to get everyone dressed up in issued extreme cold weather gear (ECW) and then make them sit around and wait in a hot room.

I do enjoy the visit in Christchurch though. Some former members of the group live down here now and always make sure we have a warm welcome. We got a tour through Lyttelton where the expeditions of olde would embark from and had lunch. We also drove through the hills and down to Taylor's Mistake. The name comes from a similar event to Turnagain Arm: the captain of a ship turned into the wrong bay late at night and almost beached the ship. Now it's a beautiful beach with a fun name.

Well, as I was waiting for briefings and typing this email we learned that our flight is canceled today for weather in McMurdo. We got all dressed up to go nowhere... Another free day in Christchurch!

Love you!
Drew
