Antarctica Photo Gallery

| December 1, 2009

I know, I know… everytime I go on a trip it ends up being the best one ever, but in this case, I really mean it.  The 2009 Antarctica Ski Cruise was a five-star blast and here are the photos and captions to prove it.

If and when it happens again (and assuming I get invited back…), I’ll be there.  A big thanks to Doug Stoup and Karyn Stanley for making the magic happen.
