What are your biggest challenges?

Right now our biggest challenge

Is packing for a trip.

A journey half across the world

Through different climate zones.

---

London, South America

Changing in Madrid.

Then Chile, Argentina,

Uruguay as well.

Falklands and Antartica

We plan to see them all.

---

The question is just what to pack

For different climate zones

From South American summer days

To chill Antarctic cold.

---

And add to that we’re on a ship

And should dress up at night

A good four weeks away from home

That is a lot to pack.

---

It’s knowing what you ought to take

And what to leave behind.

We’ve paid for extra luggage

But still must work it out.

---

Not that I’m complaining

It’s one terrific trip

The last long journey we’ll maybe do

Before we get too old.
