Today is a day at sea. I am leery of this because I don't want to spend the day seasick. We do take advantage of not having to be anywhere and it is so nice to sleep in again. We spend much of the day playing cards, reading and taking naps.
Tonight we have a BBQ on the outside deck. It is cool but quite a spread. We arrive a little late and are not able to have our own table so we get to dine with another couple. At first I am dreading this but after a little small talk, the conversation flows freely. I am excited to meet even more people. We find we have more in common than one would expect. They use to farm so Kurt and the husband have some stories to share. The wife use to work in the travel industry so I enjoy picking her brain.
After dinner, there is a dance party. It is so fun to watch people let loose. Many of them I'm sure have stressful jobs and busy lives. I love to see them relax and enjoy themselves. I must admit that I too can't resist the chance to dance!
Travel tip: Dance like nobody is watching (You will never see these people again anyway right?)
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.
