And we are off again!

We are currently sitting in the Miami airport.  Part one of our trip, albeit the most dull part, our flight from NYC to Miami is complete.  The real part of  our trip to Buenos Aires, the Falkland Islands and South Georgia begins shortly.  It will be quite the weather adventure also-- predicted highs in the 70s in Buenos Aires, 50s in the Falkland Islands and 30s in South Georgia! While we hope to see seals and whales, a lot of the trip will be about flying and swimming and flightless birds. We made our own bird book to be able to identify the 6 species of albatross (did you know there are many species of albatross?), 8 species of penguins and 22 species of petrels we may see, not counting ducks and geese and hawks and... We hope to be able to send updates on our adventures, internet permitting near the end of the world, and also hoping that we will be able to take pictures like the one below!
