Ecuador and Peru...and Maybe Even Colombia and Panama!

The latest non-work trip is in the works with flights booked! Driven initially by a great air deal, I am heading out for Quito, Ecuador for 12 days with two good friends. March 19th-31st are the dates.

Our flight from Dulles to Quito goes through Panama City and we have an 8 hour layover. Looks like we will be able to get out for a few hours and quickly explore Panama before heading to Ecuador. Once we are in Ecuador, the only thing booked so far is three nights in Quito at a nice hostel in the Old Town.

Post Quito, plans look like going southeast to Peru and checking out some remote rain forest and jungle areas, including Incan ruins. Beach time will also come in to play on the north-western coast of Peru on our way back up to Ecuador. Of course we originally wanted to make it to Lima and then down to Machu Picchu, but that is just too ambitous for this trip. We would have to spend many days and nights on the bus and we want to make sure we have the time to enjoy the many sights of Ecuador and Northern Peru.

We are also trying to see if it is realistic to maybe spend a night in Colombia since it is not far off from Quito.

Much more to come...incredibly excited about this!
