I want to go to Antarctica, I want to go to Antarctica, I want ...

... the chance to do something that I will probably never get to do unless I get chosen for this!

Yes I have travelled overseas a couple of times ... once was "BC" (Before Children) - back when I had a better paid job and nothing much to spend my money on ... the other time was this year - when the trip was mostly paid for by my recently deceased grandma (My wonderful Mum decided to share some of what she inherited with my brother and I, while we were "still young enough to enjoy it") but ... I/we have run out of rich relatives ... in fact the only relatives I have, who I am ever likely to inherit anything else from are Mum and Dad ... who I hope will live forever ... or at least for a long long time ... and what I am likely to inherit would probably not even pay off our mortgage ... so my only way to get to see the wonderful wilderness of Antarctica - the place that is down under "downunder" - is to blog my way there!

So ... why should/would/could you choose ME to be their guest blogger?

Well ... why not?

... 3 of my favourite things to do are travelling, taking lots of photos, and telling people about stuff ... so I guess I am made for the job?!

(and yes - if I am chosen - I will blog a LOT more often than I do on my own blogs! ;-)


so ... how about you go to http://www.blogyourwaytoantarctica.com/blogs/view/281 and vote for me?

please ...

pretty please

... on bended knees?


(can you tell that I REALLY want to go?!)

it could be ...

... if I ever got around to posting anything to it.


Maybe I should put some photos of interesting stuff here?

I am not sure if this is the best sunset in the entire world, but it was pretty darn good (which is probably more than I can say for my photos of it):






I suppose I could have cropped the photo and flipped it upside down and pretended I could fly above the clouds with my camera in hand ... now that would be fun!











Or/and I could have posted a negative image and pretended it was day time:





Or maybe made it black and white and pretended it was a sandy beach or something:










hmmm ... I wonder if whatever makes the ripples in sand look like they do also makes the ripples in clouds form the same way? ... someone has probably done a physics Phd on it or something no doubt ...

Maybe I should actually go and post something to my other blog (the one I do post to sometimes, but have not posted to for a while and have a whole heap of stuff I want to put on there)

Is it?

Well ... actually, no ... not yet

but one day it might be

... or it might not.



btw, I think there used to be something else here at this URL (different blog same name) because I had the URL saved somewhere for some odd reason ... forgot why - clicked on it to see what was here/why I wanted to come back - and noticed it was not in use any more - so I snaffled it while I could .

The big question is ... will I ever be able to make it live up to it's name? LOL
