No problem!  The expeditions that the National Geographic Society (US) 
sends out seem like the worlds finest boondogles to me.  You know, get on 
a sailing vessel and sail to Antarctica to photograph the Penguins.  All 
this and they pay for it!  If you figure out how to get them to do this 
for you, please take me along.
