Unplugged in the Galapagos

I've been back for a full week now. Back from the life-changing experience of a vacation in the Galapagos with my dear friend Karin. My intention is to go into detail, upload photos and such, but...we'll see. Between us, we've got over 1500 photos, each more beautiful, interesting, haunting, hilarious, and engaging than the next. How to choose a few representative examples?

This was our first experience traveling together, and it was a spontaneous riot of fun and laughter from the first second. (except when she beat me at Scrabble on the plane to Miami...I believe there was gloating...)


In the meantime, here's a photo of us with our new best friend, and the two videos that follow sum up the shenanigans and fun we had!

Here's the video that helped identify the source of a mysterious sound on our balcony deck...keep in mind that we're at sea, skirting the Galapagos Islands. You were only allowed to bring a total of 28 pounds of luggage, including the suitcase itself...

Here's KP pantomiming to the sound
(prior to solving the mystery)...

I love my frien KP! We were easy travelers.
