Vacations - Vacation Planning - Discussion

@Doats What a great story.

I was fortunate to take a vacation to Galápagos Islands in Ecuador two weeks ago.  It was very protected area and we only visited a few eastern islands. I enjoy getting so close to see animals living in their natural habitats and feel,so,peaceful. Share some pictures with my boardies:

Blue footed and red footed boobies



Sea lions and we saw a baby who’s hungry and looking for mama. He even crawled towards us but turn around because the scent was different.







I am luck to travel to some amazing places this year: Tokyo, Kyoto of Japan, Seoul of South Korea, Beijing of China and now Ecuador. Truly blessed!

Oh, and tortoises! And bonus surprise: whale!








Only thing is l didn’t see penguins. They said I have to travel to western islands to see them. Well, next time!

@sdmom Fabulous photos!! I loved all but especially the blue feet. Thanks for sharing.

@sdmom oh my gosh, thank you for sharing the incredible pictures. Love those coloured feet and the baby sea lion. I hope he found his Mama. OH and the tortoises and whale! I guess I loved them all.

@GuardianAngel I asked the guide if she’d report to the National Park service if the baby couldn’t find his mama, she said no. She said it’s part of the nature process. Survival of the fittest indeed!

I just want to take him home. His little face looks so sad. He's adorable. Animals are amazing. The tortoise look like they are posing for you.

@sdmom Thanks for sharing. Those photos are amazing!

1 Week in Cuba, far too short! Man can those Cubans dance! This is my 3rd time in Cuba, but I haven't been for many years. It was great to be back.

Doves greetings every morning. There were two side by side but by the time I grabbed my phone, one flew away...



Little bird landed right by my foot. Not quick enough with the camera, as soon as I moved to grab my phone, he scooted over..
