A trip to the book store ...

Or "How I managed to justify another journal". At  least I managed to get one book on Ecuador. 

And come on ... the leather one with a map ! Can't you see me in the middle of the Amazon ...

writing in by leather map en crested journal.

Dressed in my Panama hat (that originated in Ecuador ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_hat) 

Mont Blanc Pen in hand ...

So Hemingway ... 

In preparation ...

I have been in the travel business for over 15 years and have traveled all over the world;Germany, South Korea, Mexico, Canada, Italy and many more. But I have never been more excited then I am for the trip I will take this year.

On June 17, 2011 I will be boarding a plane to a far off country for 2 weeks. A country that has a lot of meaning for me, Ecuador. My father was born in a small town just inside the Amazon jungle in 1942. The fact that he will be going with me is even more thrilling. Of course I will be blogging everyday, hopefully with many pictures.

Stay tuned !
