South Africa 2025

April 29, 2025 Karongwe Game Reserve One last morning game drive then we begin the long drive back to Johannesburg. Lots of wildlife was out and about this morning. The goal for this morning was to track the Cheetah and find them.  Impala Wildebeest. Several trackers walked the road looking for Cheetah tracks and other signs like Cheetah pee. They were successful!  If you look really closely you can see Cheetah legs under the jeep.   These three cheetahs were rescued as cubs so they had human contact. The were released into this reserve along with a female cheetah. The female is pregnant but injured so she is being kept in a separate enclosure.  As the cheetah were raised by humans, small groups were able to walk in to see them.  Jack tried to find the male lion (he's the father of the young lions) yesterday afternoon but we were not successful. This morning we found him and his young giraffe kill. When we left the compound this morning we saw a hyena with a hun...

Ecuador 2025

February 12, Home Snowy Home February 11, Flying Home I can't wait to get home and get back to normal hours. This morning we had breakfast at 5:30 am at the hotel. As is normal with yflying, there was a lot of hurry up and wait.  We flew from Quito to Miami, where we had to go through immigration, collect our suitcase and check our suitcase back in with Air Canada. Then we flew from Miami to Toronto, arriving early. Our wonderful neighbours picked us up and drove us home arriving just before 11 pm.  A display at the Quito airport. From this trip we've learned that Ecuador exports a lot of roses.  Leaving Quito. An Island somewhere in the Caribbean.  The lights of Mississauga. February 10, Santa Cruz Island and starting to head home This morning we are up really earlier. Suitcases need to be in the hall by 6 am and breakfast is being served at 6 am. This morning we go to see the Giant Tortoises then go to the airport to start heading home.  The travel for today i...

Amsterdam, Montenegro and Croatia

October 2, 2025  Flying Home Who thought a 6am flight out of Zagreb was a good idea? Not me, but it's what we had to do to connect to our flight in Amsterdam. The 6am flight translated to waking up at 2:30 am and leaving the hotel at 3:00 am. I actually fell asleep while the plane was getting ready to depart ----- I missed take off. I guess that's what happens when you get 2 1/2 hours sleep.  Ed was awake to catch leaving Zagreb at 6am We landed in Amsterdam at 8am and caught part of sun rise. There was a brilliant sun rise as we were flying but we were on the wrong side of the plane to take photos.  Getting ready to land in Toronto. You can see the CN tower.  We are now at home and I'm thinking about a winter trip. I wonder if I can convince Ed to go somewhere before the trip we have booked for April 2026.  October 1, 2025  Zagreb and Samobor Everyone was happy this morning as we got to sleep in ---- we met the local guide in the lobby at 9:30. Most of the...
