Galapagos and Amazon -Feast for the senses (and stomach)
Sea kayaking in Galapagos

No, nothing here will kill you - unless you make them mad. (Michael Guertin)You've got to be kidding me. That's all the way down in South America. Heck, it takes me that long to fly from the US Right coast to the Left coast.
Sure it costs more to fly to SA but you get food, more leg room and a personal video system. Furtherly amazing is that Ecuador is GMT+6 (central DST or mountain DT depending on season). Minimal jet lag - cool.
