<p>It's my final Continent...Antarctica!</p>
<p>And I'm extremley excited to be eXploring <a href="http://www.gadventures.com/trips/antarctica-classic/XVCASX/2012/" target="_blank">Antarctica</a> onboard the M/S Expedition with G Adventures '<a href="http://www.gadventures.com/blog/wanderers-in-residence/" target="_blank">Wanderers In Residence'</a> program.</p>
<p>We left from Ushuaia Argentina and are now crossing The Drake Passage. The Seas are a bit rough but it's all part of the adventure!</p>
<p>After one more day at sea, we will be there....Antarctica! :-)</p>
<p>"Live the Adventure"</p>
