July is going to be a great month. Funny thing is I’m not visiting nearly as many zoos as I did in May or June. It’s going to be great for an entirely different reason – vacations! For a total of 15 days this month, I’ll be away from home experiencing two vastly different places.
Tomorrow my wife and I are leaving for sunny Jamaica to be a part of my brother’s wedding on July 3rd. Later this month, we’ll be traveling to mountainous Montana for a week. More on that later.
While I’m gone, I have a few posts that should pop up and several interviews set to take place once I get back setting up plenty more updates between my two trips.
On a much sadder note, my deepest condolences go out to the Swanagan family in Ohio, as Jeff, Director of the Columbus Zoo past away suddenly last weekend.
See you in a week,
Jon
Been traveling quite a bit lately. Just got a look at two new African savannah exhibits opening early this month – at Fort Wayne and Peoria. Will be posting pitures and more interviews next week. Book signing tomorrow from 12-2 at Toledo, stop by if you’re in the neighborhood. One other note, there have been some updates to the Upcoming Events page, with new zoo visits and book signings added. Back next week to catch up on missed time!
Today I’m leaving for a 3 day excursion to Kansas. This afternoon I’ll be taking a nice break from the road by visiting the Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield, Missouri. Tomorrow (Saturday) I’ll be at the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita. The following day, Kansas City is my destination. I’ll be doing a book signing at both Kansas zoos so if you’re in the neighborhood – please stop by! Back with interviews and pictures early next week!
