    Mridula, you rock. Congratulations!
    Setup a fundraising page, I will contribute something (and get bragging rights) “oh EBC is great, but my blogger friend has been to Antarctica.”

    That’s great news. Congrats. I am sure you will raise the required funds-you can take a bank loan. This is indeed the adventure of a lifetime.
    Best Wishes Ram

    We planned a trip to Antartica in 2011, but dropped the idea as it was very expensive http://www.polarcruises.com. However, a trip to Antartica is still on our travel wish-list.
