Miss Jane - out and about
 2008 - What a year. Antarctica then Africa. Couldn't have asked for more. Well maybe I could have because as of xmas 08, I reseigned from my job and now I'm 'footloose and fancy free'. I've started out the year with another trip to Antarctica. I'll be spending almost 8 weeks about the icebreaker Aurora Australis heading for a Japanese station - Syowa. Then the world is my oyster. I have no plans yet but hopefully they'll be just as exciting as last year!! |
