And so the adventure begins. I'm currently on my first of five flights for this coming week in route to McMurdo Station, Antarctica. I'll be in Antarctica for the next 5 months working as a Computer Tech in support of the National Science Foundation's US Antarctic Program My first stop is Colorado, just a short 2 hour flight from Portland. From there I go by shuttle bus to a hotel in Littleton. I'll be in Colorado for just about 2 full days while I get some basic corporate training and fill out the final round of paperwork. I really can't imagine what else they could possibly ask so it will be interesting to see what else I have to go through. More to come as things develop.
