Travel Itinerary

Hello People.

Make sure to get back to me by the end of this week for the cheap ticket offer if your interested. If you dont mind paying more than you can obviuosly buy the tickets later when you are more comfortable with the dates. Well here is a rogh version of the travel itinerary. It might seem too ambitious to go to this many places in three weeks, but lets see what everyone thinks about how they want the pace of the trip to be. If you have looked into any other places that sound interesting or where you know people than let me know or post it up.
Heres the itinerary:

Final 2003 Pics

Here are the final photos. Next i will be posting the travel itinerary that my uncle recommended. It'll be rough and open to any suggestions. We will all gather together during the next couple of months to talk about where we want to go and how much time we want to spend where, etc.



PICS from Ecuador 2003






Man This seems like SOOOOO long ago.
Most of these pics were taken in my home town of Sucua, Mendez, and Macas (the capitol of Morona Santiago AKA the orient/Amazon region where I am from).
Ecuadors' orient region is just one, than we have the mountainous Sierra region and the coast...which we will be going through.

CHEAP TICKETS!!!

Alright guys. GREAT NEWS!!
If you guys have been looking for plane tickets, you might have noticed that tickets round trip are about as follows:

May: from 650 and up
June: 700 and up
July: 700 and up


These are alot more expensive than they usually are.
BUT
My Aunt called me today and said that she can get us roundtrip tickets for about $360.00 USD!!!
The catch you say? well they would be from miami instead of atlanta and they cant be later than the end of May. The Miami part is easy. If 4 of us go than all we would have to do is split a rental car four ways and drive from the atlanta airport to the miami one. So all in all if anyone doesnt mind going late May than we could get the tickets for about 450 at the most(rounding up).
(car estimate: Enterprise car $200.00 + $80.00 gas)
OR if we could find cheap tickets to Miami airport that is also an alternative. My aunt and parents have done this several times and I can guarantee you guys we wont find cheaper. So lets see if we could meet this week or if not come to a conclusion through phone just for the plane tickets. Yes it might seem alittle early but I really doubt we will get these prices later on, plus that means we will have about $250-350 extra in cash for Ecuador!!

Let me know what you guys think.

Happy Traveling People!!

Now that 2008 has arrived and the summer is somewhat around the corner it is now time to start planning our summer getaway to Ecuador! SO FAR the absolute number of people that are going are:

Edgar Lituma
Jessica Hill
Zully Conde

Maybes are:
Tam Cao
Tyler Hill

Remember, this is the list of people SO FAR.
Going with a group of no more than 6 would be ideal (more than that tend to complicate traveling and accomodation etc.)
The next step we should take would be to set appropriate dates for the journey and how long everyone is planning on staying.
stay posted for more details and posts (including a travel itinerary that my uncle recommended).
