Met on B.W.Adventure trip - Island Roamer - Queen Charlottes - June 2001 (Neil, Kitty and you).

Enjoying your diaries, photos are remarkable, experiences amazing. What a life you lead! Your Papa certainly prepared you well for such adventures.

We leave on a two-week holiday in Ecuador (Quito briefly); Galapagos Islands (Celebrity Xpedition/zodiacs); Peru = Lima/Cuzco (Koricancha, Fortress of Sacsayhuaman; Qenko; Puca Pucara and Tampu Machay; Sacred Valley (market of Pisaq, Ollantaytambo fortress ruins); Machu Picchu; Lima. A trip to the Antarctic/South Georgia Island/Falkland Islands might be on our agenda Jan. 2008. We're following you!

Understand to prevent altitude sickness, two helps are: rest for three hours and drink coca tea (to reduce swelling in tissues) before exertion. We'll try both and see if that helps when we arrive in Cuzco.

I think Catttrax2 reports prepared by the students in BCIT's FWR are fantastic resources! Bravo people!

Cheers from Calgary, Alberta! Stay safe and well, Danny.

Hi Danny...

This is so much fun watching your travels and seeing where you go next. I just downloaded Google Earth onto my map...now I'm really hooked.

Thanks for sharing your amazing stories and your photos are so beautiful. Sorry to hear about the camera. I had something similar happen to me in Puerto Valharta and once it was stolen (in my case $$), I told my friend that I was with that I didn't want to mention the theft again on our trip. You know what, I completely even forgot that it happened by the end of my trip and I had a great time for the rest of my travels.

So put it outta mind. :-)

I look forward to reading more about your travels. A photo of the worldly traveller would be nice as well.

Take care,

Laura

My heart went down to my feet!

When I read the heading - I thought "not the D200!" Unfortunate for the other guy (or rather his girlfriend), but I was glad it wasn't yours!!

You are taking the necessary precautions, and we do have to be cautious, but we can't let it impede our time there, or our opportunities to meet wonderful people.

Looking forward to your next story (this headline sounded like a Hardy Boys mystery!).

Stolen Camera

Wow, that's a very patient thief. Or people sticking their heads out of a train are very common. You must have been travelling very slowly. Lucky you didn't have the D200 pointed out the window Danny! You'd have leapt off the train after it ;) Keep the great stories coming.

Les.
