Canarsie,
I would vote but there is an unresolved issue with both my and my wife's registration on the site. (no confirmation email) I have asked them to sort it out and the automated response says they will get back to me within 48hrs! Once sorted that will be 2 more votes.^
I was meant to be working (flying helicopters) in Antarctica for a few months, some years ago but it fell through unfortunately. One of the major disappointments of my life.

I am not sure as to why people are having trouble voting. I know other entries have been gaining votes as I have lost some ground this morning not only to the front-runner, but also to the person who is now immediately ahead of me by 11 votes, and I was ahead of him only hours ago...

Hi Canarsie,
Voted just now. You're up to 86 votes ...
As for a traveling companion, you need to choose one from another continent, like Europe, to make the journey even more special.
Cheers,
GenevaFlyer

I'm having trouble getting registered as well. Got an email saying they'd do it manually, but so far I still can't vote.
Can someone tell me where to go to find out how to make a signature with a link in it that says "go *here* and vote for carnasie" with the here being a link to this thread? I see others with similar, like that great youtube of kai tek.
Also, will try a direct link from twitter and facebook. Good luck, c!
Thanks.

Just signed up another e-mail address and threw another vote Canarsie's way. No issues signing up, etc.

Travel dates are from February 20 to March 3, 2010.

Unfortunately, some people are not receiving their email confirmations – less than half a percent. It appears some firewalls do not let them through. We will confirm your registration manually by end of business today.
