As strange as it may seem when I try to pin it down to a few magical moments it is hard. I seem to picture people or animal encounter moments more than scenery moments.

The experiences in Africa have to be first, the lioness rejoining the pride and all her sisters running to greet her, the two male elephants challenging one another. The leopards. So many great moments.

The penguin in Antartica that pooped his pink poop right on my face. The zodiac ride around giant icebergs like modern art sculptures

Of the people memories probably the memorable was Tom Matassa with a rose in his teeth and Erika dancing to Bolero on DDD. That was something I will never forget. Also the gift exchange on that trip was hillarious.

Meeting so many wonderful people. My afternoon drink with Suzanne, Sheri and John in Dubrovnik. That day John told his Bruce Willis stories and volunteered to work on my web and transformed it. Later he created this board. What a wonderful moment that was meeting John.

The icebergs, brilliant sunshine and the sea like glass at 3.00 am in the morning on the Navigator in June this year was pretty special. Sailing from Spitzbergen to Norway.

Each trip has its magical moments whether it is the people you are with or the things that you see. We are so blessed to be able to experience these things.

David and Betty that was Rangitoto that you climbed. That is SOME climb.
