Ecuador with Galapagos

Part 1 How it all started..... Many years ago, as a 17yr old, i worked with a young lady from Quito. She was probably in her 20s, older then me, and much more worldly. She got me interested in Quito, her home city. But at that time i didnt even own a passport, had never been further than North Wales, which was a foreign country to me, a Londoner, back then. We lost touch when my friend returned home. Time went on, i worked at London Zoo, interest in animals, evolution, later i taught science, with a lot of biology, and Charles Darwin was certainly more than a passing interest. So when i saw this trip to Quito and Galapagos, i was keen... very keen. I hesitated, checked finances, checked diary. My arthritis was seriously hurting last winter, so i delayed. The trip became full. No spaces until 2020, I couldn’t plan that far ahead. So i watched the bookings... Then I noticed that someone had dropped out of the first ever trip that this tour company was doing. I pounced... booked on January 25th, departing March 16th. A panic ensued, clothes to buy, insect repellant, insurance, injections.... it all went through in a rush. And suddenly, i was at Heathrow, looking for others travelling with ‘Just You’. This was my second holiday with Just You, Vietnam was the first.

Maybe its time...

I’m just checking to see if this still works. Let me know if anyone is still following this. I need somewhere to put my Quito and Galapagos pix, this might be it.
