Sure enough, the flight got cancelled for the day. That was fine though, because we got to go over to Scott Base, the Kiwi(New Zealanders are called kiwis for some reason, not sure why, I guess that's something I should find out) station. It was really fun to got over to their station, see what it looked like, all of their buildings are painted kiwi green, btw, and to see a different side of the island. I got a really nice red murano wool jacket from their gift shop, which I'm super excited about, and then we went up to their rec room and Carol and I both had a ginger beer, kind of like a ginger ale, only better, and something that can be hard to find in the states but very easy to find in both NZ or Australia. Yum!
Well, hopefully the flight to the pole, scheduled for noon, will go through without any hitches. We shall see about that.
