Puerto Ayora, Ecuador, South America I had a pretty disappointing morning, but a nice day overall. I woke up at 6am, I felt great, and was really excited to go diving! I went down to the dive shop at 6:50am, and the shop was closed. I can only assume that meant that the Colombians never showed up last night so I would have been the only one to dive this morning. I sat there for about 15 minutes, but no…
Puerto Ayora, Ecuador, South America For the first time ever on my travels, I got food poisoning. Last night was horrific. I was sick all night, getting up every hour, and not getting any sleep.

I was supposed to meet at the dive center at 7am, so since I was awake,…

We grabbed a hot roll for breakfast and then got on…

I had breakfast at the hotel, that was just okay, and then I headed out…
Puerto Ayora, Ecuador, South America I actually got to do something today I’ve been dreaming about for more than twenty years, I flew to the Galapagos Islands. It is absolutely amazing to be here, I couldn’t be happier. My day started out with a really good breakfast at the hostel of strawberry-banana french toast with juice, and then a taxi waiting for me to bring me to the airport at 8am. Guayaquil has a pretty small airport, and luckily most…
