Curacao, Land Cruise
This wasn't a photo trip and I nearly did not take my camera equipment at all. In the end I compromised and took my "small" Sony 200-600mm lens instead of my 600mm prime lens.
Researching Curacao turned up only one target: Flamingos. There is a spot about an hour from the Sandals resort called Jan Kok and it was a likely target for Flamingos early in the morning. I arranged for a local taxi to pick me up at 7:00 AM and when I got in I told the driver my plan and purpose and she said "No. There is a better place". I said great, let's go. It was a better place. We eventually made it over to Jan Kok and there were only 4 birds and they were at a great distance.
An all inclusive resort turns out to be kind of like taking a cruise and staying on the ship the whole time, except that a cruise has more to do with shows and a casino among other things. I've never been into laying on the beach, so I was happy to have the Flamingo distraction one day.
The bonus was the iguanas and the local birds that were there on the resort. I spent one morning hunting them down and got some nice shots. With more effort I could have gotten many more birds.

I love the contrast of the black colors under the wing. Unfortunately I did not get flight shots on this trip.

Cool looking birds! When the sun comes out they light up like Christmas ornaments.

Iguana at the Sandals Resort in Curacao. There was no shortage of these guys. This one posed cooperatively.
