Is it water taxi-bus-boat-bus-plane-taxi? Or water taxi-boat-bus-boat...??? Whatever, a multiple transport day leading us back to Quito. Luckily, the weather was beautiful so while in transport mode, we still caught glimpses of Frigates, Herons, Iguanas and possibly a shark or dolphin in the water.
The goup says its' goodbyes at the airport. Tammy and Taylor planning some activities for their next 24 hrs in Quito, Kerry and Theresa deciding on a trip to the botanical gardens, Keith and Setsuko resting up for the next phase of their trip-Cusco and Macchu Picchu. And, me, off on my own to a hotel near the airport, Rincon de Puembo, for an extremely early flight home to NYC on Sunday.
No more bunnies, turtles, iguanas, or boobies - but my hotel is the venue for an Ecuadorean wedding, complete with fireworks, so the travel adventure continues - always a new experience, insight, impression. I dine alone in the hotel's banquet-style dining room, catching up on the news and enjoying a quiet dinner, very appreciative of a few hours of solitude to absorb all the sights of the previous days.
Excellent travel advice and service
This is my second experience working with Adventure Life. I’m sold. Jess Heuermann is an experienced traveler and provides a lot of useful information when planning a trip. These are the questions I like to ask at the outset - What’s it like to go here, there, what would you suggest, what do people report, can we add any additional side trips? Jess took the time to answer my questions and seek additional information to share with me. Petchie Colina is outstanding in helping with travel logistics and final preparations. Adventure Life has excellent guides and offers private guides and small group adventures. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the guides and drivers to learn more about their countries, cultures and histories. A highlight was having the guides pick local restaurants where we could share meals together. Highly recommend.

Jess was very easy going and answered all our questions. It’s not easy dealing with 6 people at once but she did an outstanding job!

We loved our time aboard the Angel. Beautiful boat and crew. Naturalist Jose Luis was incredible-very knowledgeable and thoughtful. He adapted tours to our group and we all had an amazing trip. Love staying a the quaint hacienda and the recommended activities.
