Today is our last day in the Galapagos Islands. After our tour of the island and seeing the frigate birds, we took the boat to the bus and the bus to the airport.
I was supposed to stay in Puerto Ayora for 5 more days. My original intention upon booking the ticket to depart 5 days after the cruise was that I would hang out and maybe go on the second half of the tour, to the northern Galapagos Islands. But then Dad said that he would come with me on the trip. And, I was done with the boat after 5 days. So I was done. I went to the airport with Dad. We got on an earlier flight from Galapagos to Quito without any trouble.
Now, on our last day, Dad's feeling so much better. Just in time to leave. :-( Had he been feeling better even one day earlier, he may have been able to enjoy some snorkeling.
Anyway, we're on our way to Quito. We're 2 hours earlier than scheduled so I'll see if I can get a flight to BA tonight or tomorrow. I really don't have any desire to stay in Quito for 5 days. Dad will stay overnight and go home tomorrow.
I've thought about trying to go home for Grandpa's funeral and will ask about that at the airport. If the funeral is Saturday, I won't make it home in time anyway. I'd love to see everyeone, including the littlest new member of the family, but I don't know if I can make that happen.

The Galapagos Islands are the most incredible living museum of evolutionary changes, with a huge variety of exotic species (birds, land animals, plants) and landscapes not seen anywhere else.
