Very much!  Though I think I'm going to stick with an austral itinerary
for my next trip.  It's just too bad that we have such a meager allocation
of paid time off work in the States--all this reading about Tierra del
Fuego, Antarctica, and cold places in general has me excited, even though
it'll be nearly a year before I'll have time to travel abroad again.  At
least we have plenty of glaciers quite nearby Seattle (albeit smaller 
than the polar).  If the weather cooperates, I should be snowboarding 
on one next weekend at Whistler.
