Hasta la vista.

Hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar en Quito.
Packs locked into travel bags, out going passenger card done, and list checked.
Hand luggage done, so I guess a visit to say good bye to my 86 yo mother is next :(
Will we get any sleep considering we have to be up at 2am?

I am so sorry that, at this late stage, one member of our group is now unable to join us.
We have had some lovely times together, and the group is already beginning to bond. His presence will be sorely missed.
He will be there in spirit, and by photograph!!

Ready to go - almost.

Quito Ecuador here we come.
These backpacks hold our life for the next 3+ months.
Camping gear, walking boots, sandals, sleeping bags, clothing for the tropics and down jackets for negative temperatures in the high Andes. Quite a few bottles of antiseptic gel, snacks, Spanish language dictionary and THE biggest first aid and medical kit of all time.

Excitement

Two weeks and we leave.
So much to do at home, but all in place for the Galapagos and the treks.
