OT: Nat Geo is top shelf in every way, especially the local guides and also navigating various foreign visa/passport control issues---I highly recommend them. As for highlights, my favorites were the animals in the Serengeti, the Taj Mahal, Machu Pichu, and Marrakesh. Definitely the trip of a lifetime, and a great time to have gotten away from the market apparently...
Government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.
