Raytheon Polar Services Company is the government contractor that organizes all US Antarctic research. They are actually located in Centennial, CO! Some trivia for all you Colorado people ;) We were beginning to worry since it's just 3 weeks till departure, but I think they wait to see how many scientists are going before they buy the tickets.
Flight is from Philly --> Miami --> Santiago --> Punta Arenas. Then boat to Palmer. My mentor informs me that it's customary for newcomers to jump into the coastal waters after the ship drops us off at Palmer and sails away. I told him that was great information, I would bring a camera ;)
