Best Safari Book

There is no doubt that some of the best travel adventures I’ve ever had were on safari in Africa. The thrill of watching wildlife at their untamed best can’t be beat and every sighting a thrill. The magic of place is overwhelming! The two places I visited were South Africa and Kenya and I would love to add Botswana to the list.

One of the books I received for Christmas was What Ever You Do, Don’t Run by Peter Allison. It was advice I was given by my guides in both places. Peter was a safari guide in Botswana as well as a leader for safaris featured in National Geographic Traveler and Conde Nast Traveler. The book is filled with mishaps and adventures written in a humorous style. Before heading out into the Veldt, bush or even Nairobi check out this book, it would also help pass the time on your next flight to Las Vegas!

Tourism Australia and Conde Nast Traveler Fete

It has been 3 weeks since my skin cancer surgery and I feel like it is time to head out, things are looking better.

It will be a spot on time in NYC this week, Tourism Australia in partnership with Conde Nast Traveler is hosting a fete this Thursday in the Conde Nast building on 4 Times Square. I am looking forward to some delights prepared by Australian chefs Ian Parmenter and Peter Howard.

Also on hand will be the Late Steve Irwin’s widow Terri. Some times I really like going to such events in NYC, I get to network and see some old friends as well as spending some time in the Big Apple.
