It’s time I provided more detail about my most recent vacation. It involved daylong travel from DC to Guayaquil with a plane transfer in Panama City, a much shorter flight to the Galapagos, seven full days on or near the National Geographic Endeavour for a Lindblad expedition, a return to and guided tour of Guayaquil, and a daylong trip back to DC. My sister Sarah and our parents came, none of us opting for Net access.

So despite my early misgivings, this was one of the best vacations of my adult life. I hope to do Lindblad again sometime, possibly in the Baja California region.
