We continued the orientation, with some good presentations on their waste reduction and recycling programs. By treaty there can be nothing disposed of here on the Ice and eveything must be shipped back for recycling. So were have a duty--one I think is only the right thing to do, here or back at home--to generate as little waste as possible and to recycle what remains. But by noon we headed off to the Denver airport for out flights to Los Angeles and onward. Some flew out at 1600 and others at around 1900. Spent some interesting time getting to know more of the folks. I'd always thought that I was pretty well traveled, but there are folks who really put my travels in a new light. There are the most interesting people shipping out!
The flight from Los Angeles left at 2310 hours for a grueling 13 hour flight to Auckland. Coach class, but managed to change my ticket to an aisle seat, so it wasn't too bad.
