I like to have a look who comes to visit my novel, and I liked what I read in your profile. A lot. Especially the menagerie and the family life.. I can offer you a full-family adventure, two cats, sorry - no dogs, but crocodiles and other critters - and travels without ever boarding an airplane.
I had to fly in gale force 12 winds last week. Plus a thunderstorm. It was - no fun. Despite my fears I have been to the States numerous times. There are some drugs which do work, I even survived the 12 hours it took to get to Barbados!
You have a wonderful humour and I admire your respect for all things afoot and afly in creation. Many people just treat our furry, scaly and feathery co-inhabitants of planet Earth as if they were objects. They are not.
