For that kind of money they should each get a penguin as a souvenir. :0)

It would be worth $29,500 to see the look on the faces of the guides when DonO, or Buggs, or whoever started plucking a penguin. LOL.

Wow, $29.500 US for a 16-day tour. Includes the flights from Chile to Antarctica and internal Antarctica flights, but wow, that's a buncha greenbacks. Wonder if the penquins get a cut. *smile*

Judy Lehmberg, noted and world class Atlantic Salmon fly tyer,
biologist/biology teacher, and AVID bird watcher, was once in Honduras
veiwing Macaws amoung other birds. The lodge where she was staying, had a
sort of pet one that came round easch day in search of a free meal. As it
happened, the thing would drop feathers every now and again, and Judy became
accutely aware of this, and began saving them. One morning, she came outside
early and found the bird dead on the patio, with the feathers all over the
place. The lodge owner specualted that a Jaguar had got it, because that was
not an uncommon experience at that local in the jungle. Judy, felling quilty
after having lusted after the feathers designed a new pattern for an A.S.
fly after that, and named it The Jaguar's Macaw. The first fly she ever tyed
using the feathers from that very bird, is now hanging in my house. It's a
sight to behold. I have three of Judies A.S. flies now, and in Aug. i'll get
another, one for each year i've been to the FFF I.C. She's absolutely one of
my VERY favorite A.S. tyers. She tyes left handed btw. Now you don't
think.................nah. lol, mark
