Travel Photo Collection

When I got on the plane in New York City (Jan 26th) it was 11°F and when I got off the plane in Quito, Ecuador it was 80°F degrees.

A fabulous trip onboard the Grand Odyssey to celebrate my sister’s 15! Clearly a great experience to share with you. We already know why the Galapagos are called “The Enchanted Islands”

A father and son trip of a lifetime in the Galapagos. All of the photos were taken by him.

We boarded the Nemo II for a tour of the Galapagos.

Rolfing family trip to the Galapagos: after a whirlwind tour of quito, my family (my parents, brother and my husband) boarded a flight to the land of the unknown... a land we had dreamed about since our last south american family adventure in the early 90\'s. none of us knew what to expect but we were filled with excitement as we realized we were actually, finally, visiting the Galapagos islands.

As a busy mother of 4, I seldom have time to take a step back and focus my attention on anything. This 11 day trip with my mom and oldest kids was a gift of shared time and memories we will never forget.

Ashley and Cody experienced the wonderful hospitality of the quaint Haciendas of Ecuador on their trip. Then the were off to visit the Galapagos and take in the extraordinary wildlife of the islands aboard the ELF.

I was fortunate enough to experience the Galapagos Islands, but even better my parents were able to join me! We took the 10 day Galapagos cruise on the Mary Anne sailboat that gave us the true seafaring experience.

The landscape, the animals, the ship, and the service - all were outstanding!

During the Summer of 2009 I promised my grandson that the following summer, after his high school graduation, I\'d take him anywhere in the world as long as he was willing to travel with me. He chose the Galapagos Archipelago.

Following in Darwin\'s footsteps, I will be going to Ecuador, starting in Quito and ending in the Galapagos Islands. I have my backpack, my water shoes, guide to Ecuador and of course, my camera. Can\'t leave home without it. Buen viaje and vamos!
