CPAP at SEA

Post by Volcanomom » Tue Aug 26, 2008 5:44 pm

I mentioned in the chat, and I think in one of my posts that I was up for a spot as this year's Teacher at Sea on an ocean drilling research ship off the south coast of New Zealand. I found out today....I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My CPAP is going to have a Passport stamp!!

That is too cool. What an adventure for you. How will you get distilled water out there?

GOOD question. I'm hoping that have desalination on the ship. I figured I'd ask that once I get the "official paperwork". I just got a phone call today because they wanted me to know asap.
