Congrats! There aren't many who can say they've been there. I'm sure it will be a great experience. Bring your mittens!

"Name's Neatus... I kind of a big deal down here"

Sounds excited for a bit, maybe a day or two. I can't stand the cold anymore. 50 degrees is as cold as I could possibly deal with. Have fun, looking forward to the pics.
