knitters with pets and MInis.. Galapagos trip

Molly,Buddy and Peeky


Maggoo and Peeky Stinky Molly



After signing up for Dogs on Thursday a personal record of comments were posted. Thank you all. WOW !SO many knitters adore their pets as much as I do. Another thing I have noticed is that several of my blogger/knitter friends drive and love their Mini Coopers .
Really -really -ready to take off Tuesday
But, I am alreadly thinking of what to knit when i get back. I will order Brown Sheep cotton fleece yarn for Terva Durham Ballet T Shirt and some worsted yarn that is 4.25 for Central Park Hoodie. Mailed the baby sweaters yesterday so only project I am working on is the afghan. I have sock yarn and needles packed to start in the trip to Galapogos.
Last night we just happend to see this special NG show on Galapogos . I am even more excited about this adventure trip we are taking along with 14 other people from all over the US. We arrive in Quito , Ecuador on Tuesday and stay there for one day.There the paln is to go to a exhibit to learn all about the equator as we will be on the imaginary border along with some site seeing . Next- we fly to an area where will take only a small backpack and canoe into an Amazon lodge for 3 days. Lots of nature hiking and cultural events here. DH will even get to fish for piranha ( sorry spell check is still not working) Finally - back to Quito for another short flight to the Gallapogos small cruise ship. This is my favortie part.! Seeing all the diverse animals and plants like the sea lions, turtles, reptiles, penquins, birds is going to be fascinating as we go to the different islands each day.
So- no be posting for 12 days. Instead- I will be following Charles Darwin's footsteps and soaking up some sun! Retirement is wonderful!
