Here's another way to skin the acronym cat, and in honor of fellow San Diegans, Davefr, and Ted Geisel:

W Watching bears on Arctic ice,
R Rush with Russians once or twice.
A Aurora lights and zodiac,
N Now lose a day, then get it back.
G Google polar places please,
E Explorer, Regent's not; it's Silversea's.
L Luxury for such little dough.
L Look, there's Ngaire in the snow!

Oh the places you will go!
