We had in depth nature experiences from our Lindblad ships in Baja Mexico and Alaska. The ships are small,90 passengers, and go to remote areas. We saw so many whales with their babies, brown bears and grizzlies, so many wonderful experiences.

It turned out that Jack Lemmon and wife had just been on the same Galapagos cruise boat's previous journey as ourselves back in '92. In the Guest Book, he'd signed and left a phone number and address, which obviously must've been that of his agent. Also apparently on that same cruise had been the late-teen daughters of Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner.
Our guide, Jimmy Iglesias, would never have won the award for 'Most Happy Cheery Wildlife Guide'. He was decidedly cool, as he blew us all off whenever any passenger tried to engage him in a longer chat.

I suspected that maybe the cause for that was some labour issue, but who knows?

We're in Newfoundland right now and about to go whale watching and puffin/tern spotting. Have been here before - it's a wonderful marine watching location.

Also Cape Cross in Namibia - a quarter of a million seals ............. oh my does it smell!!!!

Antarctica for penguins!!! and Leopard seals and whales - oh my

And do polar bears count as marine animals (well they eat them). We had a fabulous trip to Churchill Manitoba to see the polar bears.

I haven't done one like that but my boss took one to the Galapagos also and thought it was really good. The company was Road Scholar. They have several including the Galapagos.

Wow, those trips sound amazing! I’m glad you enjoyed them.😊

I’m also a nature lover and I enjoy wildlife adventures. For instance, I had a great time in Antarctica in December. It was one of the best experiences of my life. We saw icy landscapes, icebergs, islands and beautiful glaciers. We also encountered different animals, such as seals, whales, birds and penguins. I think penguins are adorable. Do you agree?

Another memorable trip was in Kigali, Rwanda. We stayed in a lodge near the forest for two days. It was fascinating to visit a local village and learn about their culture and history. The highlight of the trip was trekking through the jungle and spending time with gorillas. We found a mountain gorilla family and observed them for an hour. They were so gentle and amazing.

By the way I don’t mind the spaces after a colon either, but I guess they have their reasons. Maybe it’s for consistency or readability.
