Get Set.........

Hello!

Today is January 25, 2009 and I am anticipating my trip to Churchill, Canada at the end of February. This is the first time I will really experience coooooold temperatures. Although I grew up in the mountains of California, the temperatures in Tehachapi rarely dipped below 20 degrees F. I am going to look for some very warm underwear!

I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to see what scientists do in the field. The effects of climate change is something we all have to be prepared for and we can't prepare for it if we don't understand it. Being a part of this expedition makes me feel like I'm contributing to the global population and that makes me feel good.

I will post again nearer my departure date. Keep checking back!
