Adam -

Indeed the port was a very nice tawny (you would hardly expect less from a Brit-run logistics organization, now would you?)

Tom -
No, we didn't see penguins at Patriot Hills or Vinson. These are beach-lovers, and won't travel 1000 km inland (despite "March of the Penguins"). We did go out to the Penguinera near Punta Arenas when we got back and were trying to sort out our various flight arrangements back to the states ("We can get you on a flight tomorrow for an additional fee of $6000" - ummmm, say what?!?!? Yes that is the price one of us was quoted, and yes US dollars, not Chilean pesos).

Good question on the photos. I can load a fairly large number to Yahoo photos (my email provider), but I think I have to email specific "invitations" to people to view them. I will inquire of Yahoo to see if there is a way to post a URL that points directly to one of their "albums" (their way of grouping photos). My website (from Pacbell/ATT/Yahoo) is limited in size and pretty much full right now, unless I remove a bunch of stuff. I should probably get one of the photo "memberships" that a few people have used here (unless Dave has some way of hosting a gallery temporarily??? hint, hint, hint). I will post a few photos over on MtnCommunity, but that will probably be limited to a dozen reduced size from the 12Gbytes I shot. Plus, the group is going to share photos, with Sam having shot something like 20G the last I heard. Since mine are RAW, they will reduce considerably for web viewing, but Sam's 20G are all JPG, so much compressed already. I think Tony's are all restricted until the documentary is completed, but in his case, it is mostly HD video.
