Have you ever heard of anybody like this?

“So, why did you guys choose to visit New Orleans?” I asked Madhumolli.

That lead to a fascinating revelation about her. I discovered that she has a very unique hobby. She collects water from different rivers in the world!! She has gone to different countries to collect water from rivers like Volga, Nile and the like. This trip was to add Mississippi water to her collection.

That was jaw dropping. I have never heard of anybody with such a unique passion. Have you?

Is there an English word for people who collect water rivers from different parts of the world?

And that brings down the curtain to this trip to Australia and New Zealand

# Flights: 10 (with 3 different airlines)
# Rental Cars: 4 (3 of them driving on the “other” side of the road)
# Hotels: 5 (all my favorite brand 🙂 )
# Train Rides: 1
# Bus Rides: 2
# Boat Rides: 3 (one included driving the car into the boat)
# Helicopter Rides: 1
# Ropeway Rides: 1

Got to see some magnificent sights. Made a ton of new friends and most importantly spent time with Rishu (nephew) and Nikita (younger daughter)

Now, nothing says we are back home better than grabbing a Starbucks moment we landed in Atlanta!!
