We departed last out of Missoula, on our way to Belize! Evan and I spent our several hour layover playing pool and drinking microbrews in the Salt Lake Airport. Not a bad way to start our vacation! The overnight flight to Atlanta was rough, not much sleep and a pretty upset baby sitting in front of us. After a short snooze in the Atlanta airport, we departed for Belize City. The warm, humid air welcomed us as we stepped off the plane. We had arrived! Hector picked us up right outside the airport door and drove us towards Pooks. After a quick lunch, it started to poor, so we decided to save the zoo visit for our way out of Pooks and drove directly to the lodge. It was such a treat to be back in Belize. It has been seven years since I had seen this wonderful little country, and the smiling faces of the people we drove by made me feel so welcome. The bumpy ride to Pooks was relatively quick. We had Hector teaching us about the landscape, the people, the farms and the history of his country. As we pulled into the lodge, we were greeted by Ray and shown to our room. We were both in need of a nap and a shower after traveling for about twenty-four hours, but we did wander around just a bit before cocktail hour. We met the other few people at the lodge over cold Belekins and all sat down to eat in the downstairs dining area. DInner was as just as delicious as I remembered, served family style with the other guests, Ray and our guides. Evan and weren't the life of the party tonight, and we turned in early to our cozy and beautiful room.
Kelly and Rhenee were excellent to work with on planning our trip. The logistics all worked smoothly and everyone was friendly and on time. Our accommodations were very good, particularly the incredible Patagonia Camp in Torres del Paine! Our guides on every excursion were outstanding and made the hikes memorable! Overall we had a wonderful trip with incredible memories!

Adventure Life is definitely a first-class safari tour company, and our representative was Franny Friesz. First of all, she responded immediately after we contacted Adventure Life. We told Franny that we had never been on a safari, and she was more than eager to offer a mountain of information about the trip. She informed us fully about all the ups, downs, and all arounds! She even prepared a number of packages for us to review -- even after we made changes to the areas we wanted to explore. Friendly, helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable -- these words describe Franny, and what a wonderful trip she prepared! We couldn't have asked for better service than Franny of Adventure Life. We HIGHLY recommend her and her outstanding company! Bon Voyage!

The staff at Adventure Life made planning my family's trip to the Galapagos Islands as easy as possible. They listened to what we were hoping to experience and made thoughtful suggestions about how to accomplish our vacation goals while meeting the needs of travelers ages 17-76! They patiently answered questions and follow up questions in the months leading up to the trip. They helped us trouble shoot and customize the trip in every way possible. The logistics involved in traveling from Boston to the Galapagos are innumerable. The Adventure Life staff helped us arrange every detail and the team they assembled in the Galapagos was tremendous. I have never done a trip this big before and after working with Adventure Life this time--would not hesitate one second in working with them again.
