You should have seen how impatient this little guy was waiting for our two-week Florida trip to begin. He just kept parking himself right next to anything at home that might "send us a sign" to start heading south...
Once we hit the actual Florida beach, Bundaleer was in his element! He soaked up the warm sun, followed energetic volleyball games, and carefully braved chilly waters to find unique shells...
Then, he took a nap to recover from it all. Well, no surprise there.
Now, unlike in New York City, the trees in Florida all boasted lush green leaves in March! From a distance, to a city koala, those leaves looked very tasty indeed! It seems we were forever trying to prevent eager Bundaleer from climbing up into the breezy palms and pines. And usually we were successful.
However, we have to inform you about one episode where little Bundaleer hoisted himself right up into spanish moss. Yes, a little Tarzan in the making. Frankly, Bundaleer had so much fun swinging about that he got a very un-lovely upset tummy. Poor Bundy.
Fortunately, Bundy's "Omi" rescued him from the foliage, and the little guy had a peaceful and restorative "time out" in a protective space.
While Bundaleer decided he liked Florida a lot, he was disappointed that he did not meet more diminutive animals. He wouldn't say so to me but I think he actually wants a pen pal. Well, who knows, maybe there's one out there somewhere.
I always tell Bundy that it takes time to find a really good thing -- like a reliable pen pal, for example. That's usually when my dear koala decides it's time for a nap.
Explore, communicate and nap...that's really it in a nutshell.
