The adventure begins again

For quite a while I thought that this blog was just an archive, but it looks like it is time to arouse it from its slumber and resume the tale. We have not yet actually left the USA, but we have reservations on American Airlines to leave Albuquerque at 9:25 a.m. on December 2, arriving in Quito [via DFW and Miami] at 9:40 local time [EST] that evening. We will spend that night in Quito, and then fly on down to Cuenca the next day, where we will initially stay in the same hostel as before while looking for an apartment where we can stay until our return on February 24.

Samuel and Ben have reservations to follow us a week later, as soon as they finish their finals at NM State University, and they will then return to the US on Jan. 12, just in time to resume classes on Jan. 14. Thus, we will have our family Christmas in Ecuador this year, and you can read about it here. I don't know what we will be doing, but we won't be shoveling snow!

Hasta luego! [For those who don't know, this literally means "Until later".]
