I had my going away drinks and dinner last night. There was a big and varied crowd and I managed to visit with everyone, I hope.

I was truly blown away with the effort that went into the going away gifts that the team put together for me. The camera lens and hood were picked up in Rotterdam! The cards signed by P&T and UIX were lovely. And, la piece de resistance, the penguin poster and costume - This Time It's Technical!

Everyone on the team dressed up in the suit they gave me to wear in Antarctica and posed in front of the green scene in the iScope. Then they put it all together and presented me a big team poster.

I then had to put ON the penguin suit. I just kept it on and wore it from the pub on the tram all the way to the restaurant! Too funny!

I feel very loved and grateful for all that they did for me and I'll miss them all!
