Over the years, especially in the last few, we’ve been traveling extensively in the US and the rest of the world. It goes without saying that each trip had memorable moments and left us with many great memories. As time and age take their toll on our memory, we realized that we sometimes forget some of the great moments and sometime we have a different recollection of what happened or what we experienced.So, we decided to create a document that lists the highlights of our trip. This is not an attempt to write a trip diary but rather to list the more memorable events (positive and negative). To make it more interesting, we also embedded a bunch of pictures on every page.
Day 1: On Route from San Francisco to Buenos Aires
Feb 02, 2009
B.A - Florida St. shopping Mecca (Margalit Ziv)• Uneventful flight SFO-IDO (Washington D.C.). United changed our seats assignment, Maggie was pissed.
• In IDO, ordered Pizza at Subway, took it to Gordon Bierch to eat with beer. Both Natan & Maggie got carded.
• Long flight to BA with some turbulences and very little sleep.
Our agent Jessica was very helpful with the whole process and always responded in a timely way to all of our questions.

Cruse ship was great. Fantastic food and service. Cruise itinary got changed so not what we expected, but not an major issue. Japan portion was great. Drivers/guides arranged by 80 Days were great. Hotels were mostly ok. Did not know that most hotels outside of major cities do not allow shoes to be worn in the hotel. again a minor inconvenience. Overall a great trip. Adventure Life communications were timely and much appreciated as far as changes/requests.

We were a group of three that initiated our research by independently searching for the best agency to help us in the somewhat complex experience of traveling to the Galapagos. We chose adventure life because they were the most responsive in the website provided the most comprehensive overview of the trip. Their reviews were also very good.
Adventure, life splits up its booking process in two parts. First Jeff, the booking agent helped us decide which experience best suited are interests. We chose a small 14 to 16 group sized yacht. Once the booking was made with Jeff, we were handed off to Coleene, who oversaw the complex process of assembling all of the necessary documents and making sure we had everything we needed to make the trip go smoothly. The adventure, life website, then becomes your personal place of reference for all things related to your trip from door to door. It’s a lot of information to assemble, especially for three travelers, but the website makes it easy and Colleen‘s gentle reminders kept us on track. In all, from the beginning, we had four months from the time we started our research till the time we departed. We felt that was, a good amount of preparation time and don’t think it would be wise to do it in less than four months. Mostly because I think you have more options with that amount of time. There were others on our trip that took six months and more from the time they started planning.
The trip itself was outstanding. We ended up on an excellent yacht (Galapagos Angel II) with a great group of guests that we were able to connect with and put together a really nice google photos album to share.
