Back In Canada

Well, we finally made it back to Marathon. Our flight leaving Lima, Peru at 12:10 am was delayed by an hour and then took about an hour to taxi to take off. This was because some of the Peruvians on the flight did not get the concept that they had to be seated in order for the plane to take off.
We Made It

After two flights and a day of listlessly milling around in the Atlanta airport, followed by another two flights, we made it to Ecuador in two days. (I am starting to feel like Jacob Two Two – for fans of Mordecai Richler children’s classics).
We spent today adjusting to the altitude (Its different here…ha ha ha.) Quito sits at almost 3000m above sea level, so we slowly moved around the old town, checking out the Spanish and Moorish influenced architecture of the churches, monasteries and public buildings.

Well we finally got our plane tickets for our trip to South America. Spent 2 hours with the travel agent on Monday going over the itinerary and making sure all the dates match up correctly. Good idea as we found one internal flight that was booked for the wrong day and quickly had it fixed. So as it goes now our schedule is as follows:
- July 7, 2004: Thunder Bay to Toronto, Ontario, Canada
- July 8, 2004: Toronto, Ontario to Quito, Ecuador (via Atlanta, Georgia and Bogota, Columbia)
- July 19, 2004: Quito, Ecuador to Lima, Peru
- Aug 5, 2004: Lima, Peru to Thunder Bay, Ontario (via Atlanta, Georgia and Toronto, Ontario)
We also have about 5 internal flights that Gap Adventures have booked as part of the trip.
Planning For South America

Well we finally got all our plane tickets sorted for our trip to Ecuador and Peru this summer. We start in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, to Toronto, Canada, to Atlanta, Georgia, USA, to Quito, Ecuador. Then take a plane to the Galapagos Islands. After 10 days there we fly back to Quito and hop onto a plane for Lima, Peru. Lots of planes on this trip, but it should be an amazing adventure.
