Tomorrow morning I am leaving for Ecuador. This is the first step in my journey to the Galapagos Islands. It will be a full day of travel with 10-11 hours of flight time. I will take off from San Francisco, land briefly in Miami and be in Guayaquil, Ecuador before the day is done.

I stay in Ecuador a few days, then fly to the Galapagos, which is about an hour long flight. I will continue my journey to the island of Santa Cruz to the home of DAD. 

Today, I am finishing up my final packing, charging all the cameras and saying my goodbyes to my loved ones. I'll be celebrating my birthday abroad this year, but I'm none the younger, so that is ok!

I am looking forward to being in another country and being able to help! Stay tuned...
