JUST GOT BACK ; A FEW THINGS TO TAKE WITH YOU
Hi Everyone. I just got back from my first Tauck Tour and it was Antarctica. Let me say that I highly recommend this tour BUT there are a few things to take with you that will "enhance" your expedition. I'm in the process of writing a 3 page "positiive" review BUT before you leave, please consider what they don't tell you. DON'T forget to take either a folding cane or folding walking sticks..as important as boots!; take OTC meds, LOTS OF THEM for COLD, FLU, SINUS, (i suggest asking your doctor a some anti-biotics "just in case"), Sunglasses, prescription sea sick patch (again, better safe than sorry), and an empty carry on piece of luggage. The latter is because on the internal flight to USH, the CHECKED limit is 44 pounds (no variance permitted) but your carry on items are "normal" (limit of two). Point is you will need that empty carry on just for the internal flight portions for boots, etc. and trust me, you won't be sorry for dragging along an empty carry-on from the US just for this part of the journey. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. ONE MORE THING...their is internet on the boat but they "limit you" and limit when it is available.
