From opposite ends of our planet and to an exotic Nepal, the sights of some local travellers are being put on display.

Since 2011, Grannies 脿 Gogo has featured 57 photo-illustrated travelogues. 

This year, Grannies are again offering three new travelogues, Jan. 17, 24 and 31 at the Emerald Room in the Schubert Centre. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. with the presentations starting at 2 p.m. Admission is $10.

Kicking off the fundraiser is Lloyd Davies' unusual Alaskan adventure Friday, Jan. 17.

Lloyd, with enthusiasm, said that he and his wife, Janet, not interested in an Alaskan Cruise, 香蕉视频直播渄esigned our own Slow Cruise in Alaska.香蕉视频直播�  

They used the Marine Highway ferry system from 香蕉视频直播淧rince Rupert to Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Gustavus/Glacier Bay, Juneau and Sitka 香蕉视频直播� and back.香蕉视频直播�  

With the help of their B&B hosts, they explored locations seldom visited by tourists. Some of their greatest memories are from their visit to the Anan Creek Bear Observatory, about 45 minutes by jet boat from Wrangell.  

香蕉视频直播淭he creek was swollen with thousands of salmon that were striving to push their way through a narrow gap while trying to avoid the teeth and claws of both black and grizzly bears,香蕉视频直播� said Lloyd.

In a polar opposite presentation, Evelyn LeRose presents on Friday, Jan. 24.           

香蕉视频直播淛oin me in Antarctica and leave the rest of the world behind,香蕉视频直播� she said of her experience with 香蕉视频直播渢he coldest, windiest and driest continent in the world.香蕉视频直播�  

Antarctica, 99 per cent covered by the Antarctic Ice Sheet is, for the most, uninhabitable. LeRose's commentary illustrated with photos of icescapes, ice bergs, animals, birds and historical outposts will give you a feel for and taste of this part of our amazing planet.    

The final travelogue features Mary Stebbins' return journey to Nepal on Friday, Jan. 31.         

Discover, or for some rediscover, Nepal with Stebbins who 香蕉视频直播�31 years ago I took my young son, Gabriel, to Nepal where we made three treks into the Himalayas. That began my love affair with the land and the people.香蕉视频直播�  

In late 2024, her return journey began in the busy city of Kathmandu, a city of chaos, deep spirituality and ways old and new.  

Next, Stebbins will take you to the jungles of Chitwan National Park, home to wild elephants and the one horned rhinos of Asia. 

Then off you will go on a mountain trek following the Kalagandaki River, descending from the arid desert mountains of the lower Mustang region with traditional homes and ways of life to lush green fields and small villages, where, in shared narrow alleyways, 香蕉视频直播渕otorcycles vie with sack-laden water buffalo.香蕉视频直播�  

Throughout the trek, Stebbins was surrounded by some of the highest mountains of the world.
