It only took us about an hour to pack up. Crates labeled and ready to ship back to Andenes, to catch the slow boat home. Successfully changed all the return tickets (before Rick left on vacation, thank goodness). Having an excellent travel agent is priceless. He's used to our crazy schedules, at this point. We NEVER come back on the day our reservation is booked for :)
Charter flight is booked, to get our people and equipment back from Ny-Alesund on Thursday. There's talk about coming back and launching from there, in a couple years, so it will be interesting to hear the details about the place.
Miguel arrived safely and spent the whole afternoon in a Skype telecon Mission Readiness Review for the Alaska launch, in January. I guess it's good to be busy but sheesh.
We're wondering what we should do for Thanksgiving. Can't recall seeing anything even vaguely turkey like, here. Considering the fact that the stove only works for 30 minutes before shutting off, you'd sure have to be right there if you were cooking a turkey!
Christmas lights going up in town and decorations appearing in stores. It's obviously a big deal here.
Just a couple days to tie up all the loose ends. Looking forward to that 7:45 layover in Newark!
