Beginnings...

Well I'm off!

Well I'm almost off would be the proper way to describe my current situation. Today is that annoying day before a trip where one is extremely excited/nervous, with a thousand little tedious errands/chores to complete. I'm drudging through, and with every phone call made, room cleaned, and piece of clothing packed, I am that much closer to Quito.

I will spend the night tonight at my travel companion and friend Torrey's house; her parents are kind enough to do the early early morning airport drop-off tomorrow (Wednesday). We depart from Minneapolis at 6:30 am and arrive in Ecuador about 12 hours later. It will be a big day, but I'm sure the adrenaline will be flowing and I will get over my travel fatigue quickly. At least we're in the same time zone so jet lag won't be an issue!

Adios and I'll be seeing you...

Love Eliza

  1. Hey Eliza,

    I went to Ecuador last year over interim and I would definitely suggest that you go to the Saturday market in Otavalo. They have a lot of fun stuff to look at and it is a great place to talk with some of the indigenous Ecuadorians.
