September 26, 2004Tomate de Arbol9/27/04 Well, we`ve had a great week. Spanish lessons went well for both of us, I`m remembering bits and pieces of what I have learned over the years and Jim has really picked up a lot of the language....and wants...Read this update September 21, 2004Salsa Dancing y CuarentaWe started our Spanish classes on Monday and so far so good.

Despite fears that Hurricane Ivan might upset our travel plans we managed to maintain our original itinerary and arrive without a problem. Both flights were relatively uneventful, although I did savor the chance to watch Shrek...Read this update September 11, 2004Hurricane Ivan Delay?Well it looks like a departure date on the 13th may have proven unlucky after all.

Category: The itinerary so farA lot of people keep asking, "so where are you going first?" Hopefully this will help answer that question. We have booked our first few nights of lodging in Quito, but otherwise a lot of it is intentionally open-ended. We...Read this update September 09, 2004Lisa's new doLisa got a new low maintainence haircut for the trip. Here is a picture of Lisa's new haircut...Read this update |
