Well we are up and at it first thing this morning and Mike, who gives us the news re: the weather on the day, has let us know that the skies have cleared over Vinson and we will be flying today!  The plan is to leave sometime around 12:00ish.  We are organizing packs/food and packing up this mroning; we anticipate -20 or so getting off the plane at base camp (2100m).  We hope to attempt the mountain over a period of 7 days, but as everyone knows it is often the mountain that dictates the schedule and not the climbers.

Next blog will be from Mt VINSON!!!!!!
