Travel to Ecuador

---

Our trip to Ecuador consisted of a long day of air travel, starting from home before 7am after sad goodbyes with the dogs. Sitting on the airplane at SFO for a long time, we were informed that we couldn’t depart due to a United Airlines computer failure, which brought back painful memories of the ugly start to our 2011 vacation. The delay was long enough to make us nervous (John was sufficiently alarmed to initiate a web search for alternate flights), but was resolved within about an hour. After a long day of flying, we were met by a cruise line representative at the Quito airport and transported to our (lovely) hotel in Quito. There was a very nice little reception for us and the other four people who were arriving at 1am, but we were happy to complete the check in and see our beds.
