Well, that one’s off the list finally. If you don’t have your fill of penguins, then head on down to South Georgia Islands and the Antarctic continent.

D: Wouldn’t that be funny to see cops pulling over unmanned (or wommaned) vehicles? P:Ha, Ha, Yes! Dressed up a little,…

This is so cool! I’ve traveled with Zeco and Jonathan on a previous trip but haven’t made it to Uganda yet…this encounter with a family of gorillas made me feel as if I was there. Uganda “peek” experience.

This is a local story…and a warning. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with packed buses leaving from downtown after a work day…well, if you find yourself in a bus full of workers heading home don’t make eye contact with the driver. With a loud booming voice, “let the senior citizen have a seat” I…
