Episode 10 - What to Know When Planning a Trip to Antarctica

Season #1

In this episode, we have a guest traveler, Cathy Sandlin, joining us to talk about one of our bucket-list destinations: Antarctica.  We’ll discover how you get there, what you do, and what you need to pack.  Cathy will answer those questions for us based on her firsthand experiences.  So put on your Parka, pack your bags, and let’s get started on our Journey to Antarctica.

Based on our conversation with Cathy, we've got a huge decision to make now for our 30th Anniversary Trip and Scott's 50th birthday. Should we book a Safari in South Africa or a Cruise to Antarctica?  Be sure to follow us to find out!

Update: We ended up taking a Safari in Africa in October of 2024 and then planned a Group Trip to Antarctica for early 2026 with Atlas Ocean Voyages.  We had a terrific experience with Atlas.  We would love to help you book your trip to Antarctica and find the right cruise line and experience for you.  You can reach out to us HERE to learn more.
