Going There!

November 2017 — Ecuador / Galapagos
In honor of our 20th wedding anniversary (which is in August, 2017), I’m taking Libby and Emerson to Ecuador and the Galapagos, which is a place that Libby’s wanted to visit for years. We’re opting to travel independently and stay in a hotel on Santa Cruz with daytrip excursions to some of the nearby islands.
Ideal? Probably not.
But, we’ll get a good introduction to the Galapagos without breaking the proverbial bank (total cost will be less than 1/3 of the three of us going on a modestly luxurious cruise, such as Celebrity), and it fits better with our more limited travel time. So, in short, it’s pretty much like what we’ve done for the past 20 years — making the most out of travel given the constraints we operate under as two full-time, working professionals. This will be our second trip to South America and will add +2 countries (per TCC definitions).
Here’s a map of our 4 day / 3 night itinerary:
