Dashing through Dallas and back home to Cincinnati
AA 3437 - Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) - Cincinnati (CVG)
More lines to get back through immigrations and customs into the US. Standing in line for immigrations I was talking to some people who were anxiously trying to make a "scheduled" 45 minute international to domestic connection scheduled by their travel agent. I felt bad for them, but told them there was no way they were making that flight and that they should fire their travel agent for even making that booking. Stupid and silly if you ask me.
I finally knew I was home when I lined up to go through security and heard the incessant chattering of the TSA agents:
"Please remove all laptops, cameras, blah, blah from your carryon bags."
"Please remove your shoes and place them through the X-Ray."
"Remember all liquids and gels must be no more than 3 oz. and all must fit inside a 1-quart plastic baggie."
To me it all sounds like the adults on those Charlie Brown TV specials.
Finally through security found my flight at gate B9. Which then changed to B4. And then moved over to B7. Where we finally boarded the plane for the flight to Cincinnati. I had a row to myself on the CRJ-700 and was able to spread out and sleep better for the 2 hour flight than I did on the previous one. Soon I was awake again and landing back home in Cincinnati.
So thus ends the trip. A well planned itinerary by Adventure-Life. Thanks for allowing me to switch up the weeks of the Patagonia Panorama tour to fit my schedule. And to all those thinking of going, the region is second to none. Go and enjoy it.

The agent had great response to questions and coordinated well to create an itinerary that met our expectations.

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.
