Chuck, Dana, and I droove to Miami together for our flight to Quito. We were flying on LAN airlines - which was definitely the way to fly. Incredibly spacious airbus (compared the cramped flights that are typical of US airlines). The in-flight meal was very good and I chuckled as the youg and pretty stewardesses walked around the cabin refreshing everyone's glass of wine - only 2 choices - one white (blanco) and one red (tinto). The seats all had screens and there was a wide array of music, movies, and shows to choose from. I watched "The Invention of Lying" and then a documentary on the Amazon Jungle.
The Ecuadorans are generally an attractive and also a friendly people. After arriving at our little hotel - Villa Nancy - and meeting up with the other expedition folks we went for some food (very good and very reasonable) where we all told war stories. The real adventure starts today.
