Thursday, June 25 – Quito

Made it here with out too much hassle.  Only a one hour delay on the flight from Miami.  We had emailed the hotel in advance and they were waiting at the customs exit with a sign with our name on it.  Fifteen minutes in the van and we are in our room at the Marriott.  Tomorrow we have a sightseeing day on our own.

Getting Ready – Monday June 22, 2009

Well, we haven’t really done much yet to get ready.  Reality is approaching and we leave on Thursday.  Hard to know what to bring since we are going to be everywhere from sea level to 12 or 13 thousand feet.  The sea level time is right on the equator, but it is also in the middle of the Humboldt Current, so it is also hard to predict the weather.
