I'd like to take a moment to wish all my readers and fellow travelers a most healthy and enjoyable Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year with yummy cooking (I'm a pretty good cook if I do say so myself...) and time to spend with dear family and friends. Forget about hiking, running, walking, lifting weights or doing an kind of exercise...just eat...that's what I plan to do.

Keep reading daily...for upcoming series on:

- Borneo;

- Chimps, tree-climbing lions, and gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda;

- The Golden Kingdoms of West Africa; and

- The Himachal Pradesh, India.

just to name a few places...

Have a most wonderful Thanksgiving,

Sheila
