We will be in Galapagos on Memorial Day. we are leaving this Friday for Quito, Ecuador--2 days then to the islands. Very isolated--600 miles from a continent--no internet or cell phone service. We will be gone until June 7th. This is our safari--to sail and walk the path of Charles Darwin has been on my bucket list for years--one of the most brilliant and misunderstood scientists in history.
Wowie! This really deserves a new thread, Bill! I am so jealous. What an incredible trip you have planned. Hope you will have time to keep a journal of your adventure so we can hear all about it when you return.
As for our Memorial day, no definite plans yet, but we always have a family BBQ, usually at our house. The kids are probably going to their trailer for the weekend which is now situated at Geneva-on-the-lake, so we may end up out there.

Wow! What a trip. We have a cd of music by a group from Quito - beautiful stuff. Oh, and the Galapagos!!! How amazing and exciting. Can't wait for your pictures and commentary when you return.
You and Jane so deserve this trip! Bon Voyage.
You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!
