Hi. I'm suffering from terminal cancer. My doctor has advised me to make the best use of the time I have left. I've always wanted to visit Europe, especially Austria. I love kangaroos and I was wondering if anyone knows if there are petting zoos there where I could go and feed them, or do they just roam around freely in the wild? Does anyone have a suggestion on the best airline and rates to get me to my destination? I'd prefer a plane that won't charge me for an extra seat. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your problem but someone else will also tell you that you are thinking of Australia not Austria. Just follow the funny accent and you will find it. As for fares. they vary constantly so go to someone like www.sidestep.com and do a search. And yes, they have petting zoos for them. >> I've always wanted to visit Europe, especially Austria.

Don't forget to visit Mozart's house. He kept several pet kangaroos, and their descendants roam around the garden. If you talk to them nicely they may even show you the Abominable Snowman.

Many European zoos have kangaroos, so don't worry. Feeding them is probably forbidden, but I'm sure the zoos will make an exception with you. Just tell animal attendants your story. > Does anyone have a suggestion on the > best airline and rates to get me to my destination? I'd prefer a plane > that won't charge me for an extra seat. I did my best to find such an airline and plane, but I wasn't able to find any. But remember, you're investing on quality time. Time outside Yankistan is always quality time. > Thanks. Thanks, I hope I was of some help. |
