As any of you that are my loyal readers know, Bonnie and I had planned to head to Egypt to see our son Daryl and take in the historic sites. With the recent unrest in Egypt as the people took to the streets to demand reform and a democratic government, we decided that it wasn't the best time to go, many of the sites would be closed and we wouldn't have the experience we wanted, however rest assured we will be heading there soon.
On Feb 7th we sent out inquiries to see if we cold book a trip to the Galapagos and thanks to Mary Curry at Adventure Life (thanks to our friends Jenn and Luc for the recommendation) and some late-night airfare searches we pulled it all together and had everything booked and confirmed by Feb 15th departure on Feb 18th heading to Quito, Ecuador and then on the Coral I in the Galapagos for 8 days/7 nights. This was even more last minute for us than normal and without Sheryl's and Jenn & Luc's encouragement from their trips over the last 2 years it wouldn't have happened.
