If you have not flown Qatar, think being at a Four Seasons in the sky. You pre order your food. The adult beverages are great. But the highlight are the pajamas you are issued for sleep. Check us out!
We were met at the airport and then off to our hotel in Doha.
What a beautiful place. More marble than I have ever seen. Off to bed after a day and a half of travel.
We are starting the trip of a lifetime. The sun is not up yet but the full moon is shining enough for us to see our way at oh dark five.
Here is the Princess and me waiting for the Hyde’s. We could not wait in the house any longer. Excitement of finally getting on the road was overwhelming.
Here is the first, of many to come, of the group photos. Waiting in Phoenix for the first of many flights.
Our first stop along our first days journey. Hollywood and home to other celebrities. Saw the first sign to our next stop.
While at LAX we followed the path forged by the Dusel’s looking for the international terminal. Look who, because of his new look, was designated as porter. Note what my wing man is hauling!
We were six plus hours early. So off to the Hilton for adult beverages and a snack. Great way to kill three hours.
Then back to the airport. Wife 2 and the Princess trying to get us into the special lounge. But we tried first class and got bumped to business class lounge. Still not bad place to kill two and a half hours before boarding.
Well it is time. We have a pod for four. Also we are with our sweeties. That is Nate and I. We just finished toasting our ladies for setting this up and in anticipation of meeting the silverbacks! That is it for now. We leave in five minutes. Welcome aboard!
People have asked where in Africa are you traveling. All I talk about is seeing and hopefully being with the silverbacks. But here is our travel schedule and the camps we will be at.
Are we ready? You bet we are. Here are our safari clothes ready to rock and roll. As the Princess says, four more sleeps and we start our adventure.
The next trip is back to Africa to see the silverback gorillas. Here is the first cousin of the silverback gorilla delivering to our traveling partners their plane tickets. This has been and remains number one on my bucket list. More details on this trip to come. Stay tuned.
Every journey has a starting point and a destination. What is interesting is that once you reach the destination, you are at a new starting point. To create my bucket list, I needed to go somewhere where I could think. I have sat for many hours watching the waves. Wondering where they came from and what they encountered on their journey. This inspired me to create my bucket list.
So many choices. How does one determine what the next trip will be? Easy. Just ask the Princess.
Travel is so much more fun when your with friends. Here are some of our travel buddies.
