More & more, air travel feels like amateur hour. @United flight attendants didn’t know our destination (they asked me during take-off announcement); jittery landing; plane parked so poorly we could not deplane. Had to re-stow luggage & wait 40 min to repark plane at better angle.
Gorgeous day on La Gomera in the Canary Islands. Easter hiking in the lofty green cloud forests high up on these million-year old mountains @LindbladExp
Miraculous day aboard @LindbladExp! Spotted a small pod of sperm #whales, just south of the equator. The youngest one seemed curious and swam ahead of us, gulping in air & spraying out a few big bursts of breath before diving far, far below the surface of the ocean.
Landed on the tiny rock island of St. Helena & got to visit with its oldest loving resident, Jonathan—a Seychelles Tortoise believed to be almost 200 years old. Quite profound to commune with a fellow living who’s been alive for centuries. Tortoises are extraordinary @LindbladExp
Yay! The Association for Education Finance and Policy (@AEFPweb) gave me their "Policymaker & Practitioner Award." I better get out there and positively influence some policy and practices!
I spent a remarkable day on Tristan Da Cunha, one of the remotest islands in the world. This was our view as we departed aboard the @LindbladExp NG Explorer. We remained on the back deck, enthralled by the view.
Incredible weather today. Despite 50 knot gusts of wind, the protected inlet of Ocean Harbour allowed our @LindbladExp group to get in a long hike in the pristine mountains of South Georgia.
