Heading Out!

Ready for departure. Image credit: Stuart Mitchell.

After a long day of backpack tetris, I was able to fit just about everything on my list in. One shirt has to stay home, and the headphones coming with me aren’t my favorite—but they work. I even managed to find space for some M&Ms!

Now I’m all packed and departure for the airport is imminent. It’ll be a long series of flights to Cape Town, but the weather looks good at all airports along the way, so at least that shouldn’t be an issue.

Heard Island, here I come!

If you’re wondering about the weather on Heard Island, here’s a forecast. I’d take it with a big grain of salt, but it seems to have the general idea (cold, wet, windy).
