Kingdom
of Bhutan…..Shangri-La
Click here to read my published article
In March 2008 I was in this beautiful and peaceful country. The
people are noted for their friendliness and happiness and I would
certainly agree. I found Bhutan to be one of my all time highlights
of all the other countries I have visited.
Seeing
14th century monasteries that have never been damaged or vandalized
was amazing. This fourteen-day trip covers the majority of Bhutan.
Once
again I went with Windhorse Tours and was completely satisfied.
Two years ago I took a trip to Base Camp Everest with Windhorse
and it also was amazing.
Climbing
up to "Tiger's Nest", watching Bhutan archery shooters hit targets
100 yards away, and seeing sacred Buddhist ceremonies/dances were
only a few of my favorite memories.

you ever need more information on Bhutan, please free to contact

ADVENTURES
Namibia
could be the "jewel" of Africa.
I recently did another safari, and would rate this one as the best.
Namibia has majestic sand dunes, plenty of game animals, coastal
scenery, and rock art. By seeing the highest sand dunes in the world,
it made me feel very fortunate to photograph and climb them.
Elephants,
giraffes, zebras, springboks and lions were seen by the dozens.
This is a country that has marginal rainfall, but survives and flourishes.
Namibia gained its' independence less than seventeen years ago.
It is evident that Namibia believes in protecting its' animals and
natural beauty.
The
twenty-six hour flight was the only negative thing I could find
with this trip. I would highly recommend that you check out this
beautiful country. If you contact me, I could recommend an excellent
safari company, and the best time of the year to visit Namibia.
Be
sure to check out my travel show at Carlsbad Inn every Wednesday
night.
Until
the next adventure, take care and good traveling.
