One Week and Counting

The anticipation inside me keeps growing and spontaneous adrenaline rushes sneak up on me as I prepare for our arctic adventure. Even the weather here in Port Coquitlam, BC is egging me on; just last week it snowed again to help acclimatize me to the cold (in April!! -very unusual) although now I am enjoying the first warm days of spring before disembarking to Yellowknife on Friday. The new climate is definitely going to be a welcomed change.
Putting my regular routine on hold is very exciting. Every time I step out of my habits, time seems to pass incredibly slower and more vividly than normal. The plan is to absorb insane amounts of information in this period of time and yet slow down enough to enjoy!
And yes, with my notebook and camera ready, I will be sure to take pictures galore and tell you all just what happens!

Just a sidenote: I'm going to learn some Inuktitut phrases just for fun! In case anyone else is interested, heres a website: http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/inuktitut.php
