On my way to Patriots? Maybe!?

Well, it is about that time. Time to head back to Patriot Hills. As I
write this multiple parties are descending the mountain in route for Vinson
Base Camp, and as they arrive, weather permitting we will begin to fly Twin
Otter aircraft to and from Patriot Hills. The intent is that Molly, Nick,
and Namgya fly out on the first flight with Russian guide Alex Abramov and
his clients. If that happens, we should all be in Patriot Hills awaiting an
IL76 back to Punta Arenas around the 16th. My intent is to try and fly on
this flight rather than the 18th flight, but whether that is an option I
still do not yet know. At the moment clients at Patriot Hills are waiting
to run the Antarctic Marathon put on by ALE, which will be taking place
either today or tomorrow. Again like everything in Antarctica, everything
is dependent on weather. But starting tomorrow with any luck, I will be in
Patriot Hills and no longer at Vinson Base Camp, so no emails until I get
back to Punta when I will have access to my normal Hotmail account again.
Can't wait to see everyone this winter, I am really excited to be home for a
bit! Thanks to those who have kept up with the blog and big thanks to those
who have emailed, it has made my time here go by quickly and surprisingly
warm! Thanks for all the support, and I hope to see everyone in a week or
so! Lots of love from the ice!
