My dream trip would be to go somewhere I will see things everyday that I may never see again. Madagascar has so many unusual and unique animals and plants native to it where I would never visit somewhere else and say, "Eh, Ive already seen that." Me, my husband and my friends, who are currently visiting us here in Austin, James and Jade, went to the zoo the other day. We had a fairly good time, but the highlight for me was as usual the monkeys. They truly are amazing creatures. They took the little pieces of food from me through their cage with their tiny little fingers and their tiny little fingernails. I love experiencing once in a life time connections with animals and people alike. A dream it would be to see earth in all its majesty as never seen before. Places like Africa, Egypt and Iceland seem to only exist in our imaginations, but are here on earth and are ready for us to come explore. Our travels through Russia and Europe were impressive and memorable, but next I want to stay in huts with natives, swim with the whales and befriend a ring-tailed Lemur. Africa.....your not that far away, are you?
