I arrived!

































I am here in Churchill safely. And it is cold, -4 Fahrenheit, but it could be colder.

Everyone wanted to know how long it would take to get here. Well here is a quick recap of my travels. I woke up at 4:00 am EST. I got to Reagan National Airport at 5:00am. I got on my first flight at 6:30 to Minneapolis. I arrived at 8:15 CST. I was at Terminal G but had to take the tram to Terminal C.

I was able to get my 9:00 flight to Winnipeg. The plane got smaller to Winnipeg, only 80 seats. I arrived at 10:15. I met a friend on the plane, Jean. She is from Seattle and has traveled to the Arctic and Antarctic. We hung out in the Winnipeg airport for 4 hours.

The plane to Churchill took off at 2:45 and only had 25 seats. I did not like the lift off at all. I almost clutched my seatmate's arm but we were not close enough friends yet.

I arrived in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, the Arctic's Edge at 5:30pm. Safe and sound and ready for adventure!

Questions for the day.
What is CST?
How many hours did it take to get to Churchill from Arlington?
What does clutch mean? (Robust Word)

Brrrr! Where is your furry hat and warm gloves? Will you see the Northern Lights?

Ms. Schneider I am happy to hear that you arrived safely. Please keep us posted on what you eat while you're in Churchill. Who knows it might be something we might have never heard of.

Today we got an inch of snow, but I am sure you will get your fair share of snow. ---Mr. Ramirez

Mrs. Frick, I hope to see the Northern Lights. This is one of the best seasons to see them in Churchill. There is man here, called Starman, who is an expert at tracking them. I will let you know when I catch them.

Ian, you are right at CST. How many hours different is that from Arlington and EST?

It was funny when you almost clutched your seatmate. Oh, and clutch means hold on tight.
