Yes.
Going to a better place.
It would be a nice vacation from pandemic and politics; and I would love to meet dinos described in your books, and see such a society.

Packing my easel now!
Yes, please. I promise to be good, and helpful.
Of course I want to go! Only no need to pack any bags, since most newcomers arrive with just the soggy clothes on their backs. Surely I'd be well cared for while finding my place in this wonderful society (think Denmark, with dinosaurs). Enit will happily discover that I already know footprint language, and despite all the Jurassic Park movies there's no need to fear studying with a Deinonychus. There will be plenty of satisfying work to do. Not to mention breathing deep, and seeking peace with all manner of new friends. When is the next sky galley departing for Dinotopia?
The best is yet to come.........
The best is yet to come........
Count me in.
Yes please, count me in.
First stop: Waterfall City—to see that Pangea-like golden globe : )
