South Pacific

I love the warm weather! It feels great down here in the South Pacific! Don't misunderstand me... the North Pole is home and there is no place like home, but its hard to beat the warm, summer tradewinds of the South Pacific.

I've had to take my coat and sweater off. I'm down to my short sleeve shirt right now... and its nice. Jingle is with me and he has activated the cooling system that sprays the reindeer team with cool water. They are doing well.... it's amazing how well they handle the dramatic temperature changes. The weather has been good so far...though the launch was a little rough as we had high winds. Overall, its a great start.

Anyway... I'll be keeping you posted on my route tonight. I have my laptop with me and am using the same satellite connection I use to stay in contact with Mrs. Claus to post updates to my blog. Keep checking in. And don't forget, NORAD is tracking me as well.

See you soon!
