Here We Go!

Clothes? (Check) Underwear? (Check) Toothpaste? (Check) Passports? (Check) We are ready! In just a few more hours (6 hours) we'll be getting up at 3 a.m. to get ready so we can head to the airport and catch our flight at 6 a.m.. After all the research and emailing back-and-forth with our friends who are currently there, we are prepared (if not, we will just have to wing it). We are excited (hopefully, we'll be able to sleep tonight).

We are flying from Portland to Houston, Houston to Panama City, Panama City to Quito, Ecuador. It's about 9 hours of flight time and 4 hours of layover time. Coming back we are taking the scenic route. Quito to Houston, Houston to Newark (NJ), Newark to Portland. We could've stayed in Houston for a 6 hour layover but we decided to fly to Newark instead to earn airline miles (Gotta love those airlines miles. Never know when they might come in handy).

Next time we blog we'll be in Ecuador. We will keep you posted on our trip. Hopefully, we will be able to send you a ton of pictures of our adventure in Ecuador.

Adios!

P.S. BTW, We had to double our packing list because we will not be able to do laundry while we are there. Our friends tell us that doing laundry in Ecuador is an experience in itself and takes tremendous amount of time, which we do not have. Therefore, we are traveling like Rock Stars packed to capacity.
