For some reason Google missed Bermuda – but as I recall Shamu the Phone acted a little weird in Bermuda.
Speaking of doing better in 2019. I think that my proposed expedition to the Arctic in late February is off the table. It might just be way too cold for me. One of the places I was going to stay sent this list:
Things to bring:
• Warm long johns top and bottoms (base layer)
• Fleece pullover top
• Shell ski jacket
• Shell pants or snow/ski pants
• Winter coat (rated to – 50 below)
• Wool socks (two pairs and one pair boot liners)
• Wind resistant hat, neck gaiter, and/or balaclava
• Warm gloves and/or mittens & Liners (rated 30 below)
• Winter boots (rated to -50 below)
• Sense of humor
• Sense of adventure
I feel that my sense of adventure may be a tad lacking. Shit, as soon as I got all tricked out in all that gear – I would have to go potty.
I have no problem traveling anywhere alone – but misery does indeed love company.
