My Antarctica trip is coming up soon and now I need to decide what to pack or not to pack for this one in a lifetime adventure.<\/p>\n

I have begun the \u201cthinking about packing\u201d stage. With a month before take off (when I wrote this) I need to check for and tick off the list any items not in the usual inventory.\u00a0 If you are a regular cruiser or a beach vacation goer for example, you probably have a wardrobe that just goes from closet to suitcase.\u00a0 For this trip I read the suggested packing list as given by Quark Expeditions to ensure my suitcase would not lack any essentials for this specific destination.<\/p>\n

When you live in a warm weather climate such as California you are generally unprepared for cold weather destinations unless you are a skier.\u00a0 And who wants to buy a parka or snow boots that may rarely be used again?\u00a0 The great thing is you don\u2019t have to if you have signed up to go with an expedition company that will provide them for you.\u00a0 Already, two things checked off the list and I didn\u2019t lift a finger.\u00a0 Now for the other must haves.<\/p>\n

\n
1. Long underwear, the base layer check<\/li>\n
2. Mid layer, warm\/fleece top and pants check<\/li>\n
3. Warm hat and scarf check<\/li>\n
4. Glove liners and waterproof over gloves check<\/li>\n
5. Wool and synthetic socks check<\/li>\n
6. Waterproof pants for zodiac check<\/li>\n
7. Waterproof backpack for zodiac check<\/li>\n
8. Sunscreen, sunglasses check<\/li>\n
9. Swimsuit for the polar plunge I don\u2019t think so<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   All the above (except 9) will keep me comfortable outdoors so I can concentrate on watching penguins rather than how cold I am.\u00a0 Just add a few casual items to wear on board the ship and the general needs in toiletries and travel items and I should be prepared.\u00a0 Seasickness medication anyone?<\/p>\n
