After 32 years of marriage, Jeannie and I will be celebrating our 30th anniversary (planning takes time!) with a trip to the Galapagos Island in Ecuador. After the islands, Jeannie will head to the USA and I will extend my stay for a hike to Machu Picchu in Peru.

Waved Albatross
This was the last big adventure of the cruise. We were immediately beset with a mosquito hoard and we really began to wonder if it had been the right choice to go on the hike. Seeing this bird made it all worthwhile.....huge with a seven foot wingspan and this is the only place they nest on the islands. (maybe on the earth) Best of all we got to see one pair clicking beaks in their mating dance. All the others were hanging out waiting for their mates to fly in from their annual migration at sea.
