Arriving in Quito Ecuador!

Hi everybody!
We arrived last night for our first day today in Quito, Ecuador, and also 1st day of our big trip! YEAHHH
The little we got to see from Quito last night and today is not too pretty. We are staying in a little nice simple and clean Hostel called "Casa Helbling". http://www.casahelbling.de/
Today and tomorrow we´re planning on taking it easy (they say the pollution and the altitude might make you sick...). We´ll walk around the new city today, and the old city tomorrow. on Saturday planning on Otavalo crafts markets (just for you Julian :-)) and on Sunday we beging our trip in the Galapagos. can´t wait!!! should be amazing. we will be there for 8 days so probably not too much access to interent and phone (from June 3rd - June 11th).
But if you really want to see where we´ll be - check this out! http://www.scubagalapagos.com/

Neshikot!

Leaving NY and vacation in Savannah

Here it is. Our new blog. Our first and only. fun! well - i guess we'll see about fun... you will be the judges.
I (MG) am here in Tybee Island in Savannah, at a fantastic apt on the beach, with Michael's parents and sister Lauren. We are doing our best with resting. meaning eating a lot... sleeping, walking on the beach and coming back to the pool to rest some more. trying to be good and excersize and eat healthy as well.

Leaving NY... we did it. it wasn't easy. no sir. it was very stressful, but we did it. it happened, and we're beyond it. now moving to the next step! Savannah and time to rest here with the Weitz family, plus a wedding - Ben and Suzie this weekend.

And then, in less then a week - Wednesday the 30th of May - we will be leaving Savannah with only 1 backpack each, and flying into Quito, Ecuador! here we come Galapagos!

Stay tuned for the next 3 months of travels! pictures will be posted as well!
