Whale Done!


I was having dinner in Monterey, California and eaves dropped on the conversation of the couple sitting next to me.  They were discussing what to do the next day in Monterey.  The husband said that he wanted to go whale watching, and the wife said, "Well, if you've seen whales on TV, it is pretty much the same thing." 

Are you kidding me?!?!  That is like saying, I've been to Vegas, so I don't need to see Paris.  Or I've seen the Indy 500 so I know how to drive.  Or I've had a hamburger so I don't need to try a good steak. 

Let's agree, that seeing something on TV will never substitute for seeing it live and in person.  That is, after all, what makes it an experience.
