    I want to go to Antarctica too. Invite me as your plus one when you land a press trip. I’m sure your husband won’t mind. :) PS: I finished my college Spanish major ;-) , lived in Mexico and Colombia and spoke it every day as a lawyer, so I could translate for us in Argentina, the usual jumping off place for cruises to Antarctica. Also, I’d be happy to carry your camera tripod. PPS: 100% agree with your feeling about eating bugs.

    Thanks Johnny for including me. It truly was a delight to meet you and Natalie in Minnesota (TBEX). Your keynote made us all laugh and was so inspiring on so many levels.

    This is such an honor for me!

    Wishing you and your growing family the absolute most joy forever.

    Giant hugs from NYC.
