Thank you REI for my Arctic gear

When I think about the fact that exactly a month from now I will be on my way to Antarctica, I am profoundly humbled and amazed at the journey my life has taken these past 9 1/2 months. Never would I have thought to find myself preparing for a trip to this continent but I could not be more excited to join my fellow voyagers on this cruise.

I look forward to making some wonderful new friends and thank REI for providing me with some excellent gear!

Here's to next best chapter of my life! Cheers!
