I boarded my plane along with Van, Nigel, Bob Kaller, and a bottle of champagne. Needless to say, that bottle did not last long! I was so excited. We left the pole at 6:38 PM. That one hour and twenty minutes was beautiful. I will never forget this for as long as I live. Visible in the plane are Bob Kaller (left), Van and Nigel (just behind Van).
