Getting Ready


Earlier today, we were reviewing our checklists and the reading material for the tour. And the book “Don’t Get Eaten” was not on our recommended reading list. But we do have a copy of this book - HA!   Never fear, folks.  We will be quite safe and observing wildlife from a distance. 


It was a nice and unexpected gesture for our tour company representative to call us the other day to make sure that we had all our questions answered. This is the first trip we have taken with Natural Habitat Adventures, and their pre-tour level of service has been outstanding. Unlike other tours we have taken, we’ll be traveling in a very small group. There will be a total of 9 travelers (including us) and an expedition leader.

We’re in the midst of gathering our camera and electronic equipment, clothes, backpacks, suitcases, shoes, raingear, etc. After finishing all the planning and packing work, and then enduring the indignities of modern airline travel, we’re going to need the serenity of the mountain wilderness to unwind!

  1. Don't Get Eaten! That's a given, right?! Make sure that your clothes aren't very tasty at all. I recommend that you sprinkle hot sauce on all of them. LOL! Well that really was very nice of the rep to call and make sure that you're ready with all your questions answered. Have lots of fun and take a gazillion photos!

  2. Have fun, Donna!! I hope it's a blast, I'll be checking in later in September to find out how it went. I think of you often - have been bad about staying in touch, though. Sorry about that. Hugs!
