IOWA / NEBRASKA

Several American airlines now have a policy of charging for checked luggage.  And so many passengers take extra luggage into the cabin.  This means that unless one is on the plane first, locker space is often already taken.  This meant that on the flight to Omaha, Nebraska, our hand luggage had to be stored in a locker away from us.  This worried me as we had all our camera and recording gear as well as my PhD questionnaires in our bags.

LOS ANGELES #2

On April 14 we flew back to California to deliver two more lectures. Again we stayed at Muriel?s house in La Canada.  The first was to the Pasadena Audubon Society.  As before, some previous clients who had become friends joined us there, and it was a very convivial meeting. As in my other lectures to Audubon societies  I covered some of the other fauna and flora of the Top End, some of my background and that of my family, both Aboriginal and otherwise. 

TUCSON

Sky and Anne Hilts picked us up at the Tucson Airport and we headed for their home below the Tucson mountains. Tucson is surrounded by mountains with Mt Lemmon being the highest at nearly 9000 feet. Their home, like most we saw, is a flat-roofed pueblo-type building. The many nooks and crannies are filled with family photos, family trees (Anne can trace her family back to Charlemagne), shells, Sky’s medals (he was a navy doctor during the Vietnam war) and books.  

LOS ANGELES TO TEXAS

On April 14 we flew back to California to deliver two more lectures. Again we stayed at Muriel’s house in La Canada. The first was to the Pasadena Audubon Society.

As in my other lectures to Audubon societies I covered some of the other fauna and flora of the Top End, some of my background and that of my family, both Aboriginal and otherwise. The meeting was very well attended.
