Here We Go!

Toronto, Ontario, Canada
So, here we go again. We're off tomorrow for a month-long trip to Peru and Ecuador. We'll be visiting a lot of the major tourist spots in Peru --Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca-- and enjoying some great food in Lima (and other places). Then we'll be heading off to the Galapagos Islands for 6 days of land-based excursions for lots of snorkeling and checking out the interesting wildlife. Ending up with 5 days on the beach in Puerto Cayo, Ecuador, northwest of Guayaquil, to just chill and soak up some sun. We planned this trip a while ago, and pretty much everything is booked in advance (I hope!). Good thing, too, because in the interim we decided to sell our house (sale closes Dec.1), found a new place to live (which we already have) and have spent a lot of time "purging" our possessions. All of our flights for this trip were booked through AirTreks.com (out of San Francisco), who we used four years ago when we did our 3-month trip around the Pacific and did a great job for us. We booked all of our accommodations and land transportation ourselves online. While we are both in our early 60's now, our travel style is very close to "backpacker", as evidenced by our bags in the accompanying picture (actually from our 3-month Pacific trip). Anyway, it should be a blast!
