Good morning, friends and family! Our voyage to Ecuador begins this week. I've made a few tweaks to the blog to make it more reader-friendly and accessible to more folks. Please give us feedback as we continue with this experiment.
Our trip begins this Thursday with flights from Myrtle Beach to Atlanta to Quito to Cuenca (with an overnight in Quito). In Quito we'll meet up with Mary's sister Carolyn and her husband Ashley, our travel mates during our Canadian Rockies trip several years ago. In Cuenca we'll join our guide for the week, Roger Lurie, who was one of our guides in Ecuador last year and who helped make that trip so memorable. We plan to spend several days in and around Cuenca, including a Sunday side trip to the towns of Gualaceo, Chordeleg and Sigsig, as well as a trip up to the ruins at Ingapirca and hiking in Cajas National Park.
At the end of the week we will reluctantly leave Roger and board flights to the Galapagos Islands (through Quito), where we will spend a week aboard the deluxe but small cruise ship La Pinta. This will be the expensive part of the trip. At the end of the week we will fly to Quito to catch our flight back home.
