Comments
We received a visit today from the Twin Otter aircraft that will be stationed at Davis for the summer. They were able to provide us with an insight as to what lay ahead and from their observations we have plotted our way towards Davis. Packing of bags and cleaning of cabins is underway with our anticipated arrival at Davis tomorrow. Last night’s luxurious dessert lovingly prepared by the wonderful galley staff was sticky date pudding, elegantly smothered in an awesomely rich, thick caramel sauce. Yum Yum Yum!!!!!
