The last two days have no photos of Milly! Her fans are wanting to know if she is stuck in bed suffering from the altitude, or what.
Randy writes:
Tell Milly's fans that she had a bad cold and did not go out much the past few days because she did not want to infect others.Today Milly, Walt, Steve, and myself are all headed back to McMurdo although are travel plans after that are indefinite as there is a back up in McMurdo due to fights boomeranging from Christchurch.
More photos soon....
