Trips and Travels

I like to travel and go places.  What else can a duck do?   Swimming about in the pool is only good for a cheap thrill, and the spa is a little toasty on my tiny little duck... feet.  So I go places.  I'm usually invited, but I have no problem with being a stowaway on an exotic voyage to distant lands.   (The only problem with that method of travel is, of course, that the return trip home is never certain.) Naturally, with the Bald One having purchased a digital camera (set him back four bills), I also get to take lots of pictures on my trips, as well as have many pictures taken of me.
