No matter how much I look forward to a trip���planning a year in advance, studying, researching, dreaming of housekeepers and cooks and seeing sights I���ve only just read about���I am always relieved to be back in my own bed. I���m not so relieved to be doing all the laundry, but there are prices to be paid for everything.

We finally reached our dream destinations of Machu Picchu and the Galapagos. ��Peru and Ecuador are amazing. And the food.��.��. Incredible. I cannot begin to cover all the history, the ecology and biology, the tortoises and boobies!, the cultures. . . I hope you���re signed up for my newsletter so you can have access to all the images! (and the discounts and freebies!)
