My Mum always loved Antartica.  I recently Stumbled Upon a site with some great pitures from there.  I would love to see it some day, although I am sure not keen on the idea of camping there!  Those are some pretty brave people!

So, Joe posted this on Facebook, but for those of you interested who do not have facebook, I figured that I would post it here too. What he doesn’t matter, and makes it even more funny is that on his original flight, they were going to take his surfboard free. When he got switched to Air Canada, they charged him $100 for an oversized item, and then lost it! Good old Air Canada, at least they are predictable!

Oh yes, the other funny thing is that Joe just got a new tatoo (yes, Mum and Dad, he really did…). It says “Life is Happiness”. I see a subtile humor there…

Today, Joe is swiming with the fishes. Well, actually, the plan was to go swimming with sharks with his “traveling family”. Of course with his clothes M.I.A. I dread to think what he is wearing!

Well, here is Joe’s post:

Hey Kids,

So the flight from Calgary to Hawaii was uneventful, and now I’m safe and sound with my travelling family. Wait, the flight wasn’t uneventful…it sucked. It went a little like this.

I woke up at 330 am calgary time, so that i could catch my cab to the airport at 4. but if it’s 340, then why is there someone ringing the doorbell? dash to the door in the dark, fall partway down the stairs, greet my cab driver in my underwear. The guy says “let me guess…your alarm didn’t go off!”…ummm. wrong mr driver. my alarm went off…you just got here 20 minutes early. when you’re leaving your house at noon, twenty minutes isn’t much, but at 4 am, it’s like….i don’t know…more of the sleeping time. whatever.
