Madagascar (2023)

Madagascar:  what can I say.  Amazing, confounding, exhausting beautiful, frustrating.  And of course:  LEMURS.  Another tour with G-Adventures.  Good group.  With a side trip to an island called Nosy Boraha (Ile Saint Marie).

Joanne in Morocco (2023)

This was a last minute trip. I booked in late December and left in late January.  I finally caved to age and laziness and booked a tour.  I loved it!  I had the best group which made all of the difference.  Morocco is a beautiful, diverse country full of colour and things to buy.  Birding is sparse but  cats were everywhere.  Almost made up for the lack of birds. I made a quick day layover in Paris, I rode a camel in the Sahara, I accidentally commissioned a painting in Chefchaouen, we danced at a World Cup champion's signing party in Mhaya Village, and I went on a balloon ride over Marrakesh!  It was a trip!

Joanne and Amy in Argentina and Antarctica etc. (2022)

This was the MOST AMAZING TRIP EVER! And you know that's saying a lot considering all of the trips I've been on.   We started with a week in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a day in Montevideo, Uruguay. Then onto our three week cruise to the Falklands Islands, South Georgia Island (this is what made the trip so amazing!), a couple of days around and on Antarctica and then back to Argentina.  If you like pictures of penguins, you are going to love this blog!
