My visit to Greenland consisted of a stopover in the airport and getting bitten by a midge, which bite then swelled up on the flight home. Fortunately, since I was 2 at the time, I've forgotten about it.

Antarctica is on my all-time must see list, but my husband isn't keen on all that water and ice, so when the kids are bigger, I'll have to take a cruise on my own. Or maybe another tpunk or two would be interested...

Start stuffing your piggy bank! It's probably going to take me about 10 years to save up, but I'm going.
