Hey George,

Thank you for the link and the information. First, let me say that you had the opportunity to go to some amazing places. The National Basilica in Quito Ecuador that you show is awesome - honestly, I never knew something like this existed there. Absolutely beautiful. Second, it is clear that you got some great photographs of a huge array of different subjects. You have one of a male bull sleeping on a sand dune that makes me really chuckle.

You did not look very hindered at all by being limited in the times that you can photograph on your own at all. If anything, the opportunity to photograph such a variety is a huge bonus. Having said that, it is just the idea that you are stuck on the boat that somehow bothers me - though I guess from a logistical perspective that there is no other way to do it. Are there places to stay on the islands if you wished to go and do an island every couple of days?

Thanks for sharing the link by the way. It really looks like it was a great trip. LOL, I understand the buffets on the boats by themselves are enough to keep you on the boat. :P Also, would you mind sharing what a trip like this costs?

James
