Describe your most memorable vacation.
I’ve had so many memorable vacations traveling the globe enjoying different cultures, eating different foods and meeting some very interesting people. But by far my trip to Uganda, climbing the Bwindi Impenetrable Rainforest stands out. For one, Africa and the great apes have been on my bucket list since I saw my first Tarzan movie as a very little girl.
Our trek was 2 hours up a mountain and partway down the other side, where we finally encountered the gorilla family.

This was Rohendeeza – the oldest gorilla known at this time in 2011. I was about 5 inches away from him before I took this photo.
We also spent time checking out other wildlife such as the chimpanzees.

And giraffes!
