The
highlight for me in Africa is being out in those land rovers and
having that sense of freedom again. Riding through the safari and
seeing all of God's incredible creatures.
And
it doesn't necessarily have to be the big creatures. I get just
as much joy out of seeing a Lilac Breasted Roller as that of the
magnificent elephants and the lions. So it's not just the big five.
The wild dogs, all of it - it's pretty special.

This trip,
when we got to Jack's Camp we really didn't see a whole lot of wildlife
and we were kind of puzzled why this camp was here. But we realized that
there's more to Africa than just the animals. There you have the salt
pans and it was a totally, completely different environment. In Botswana
every single camp had something different, so it was a new experience
at every place.
You've
been married to Jack now for 30 years traveling and experiencing most
of the things that he does. What about it do you find most rewarding?
Jack and
I both feel that we are blessed and very, very fortunate. We say that
if we die tomorrow, it would be OK because we have experienced more in
a lifetime than we could ever even begin to imagine. Traveling around
you experience so much and you learn so much and the thing that I have
to say is that we both truly appreciate the experiences that we've had
and we don't ever want to think of ourselves as taking it for granted.
What
would people be surprised to know about you?
Well, if
they're around Jack they'd probably be surprised to know that I am not
organized like Jack. I'm his complete opposite. Jack is definitely a type
A personality, very much on top of things. And I'm much more laid back.
Anything goes. If Jack wants to bring home twenty people for dinner, that's
fine. It doesn't faze me. Whereas Jack is extremely organized and just
hyper! My mother in law said to me once, "you know, I don't understand
how Jack stays married to you. But on the other hand, I don't understand
how you stay married to Jack. So, I guess that's why the two of you make
a good couple."
