Travel Update
This Monday finds me in beautiful Toronto, Ontario. I can say it is beautiful because it is still rather warm. If I were here in 2 months I’d probably be screaming about the weather.
I spent the weekend in Niagara Falls with the folks from G Adventures, who had their annual corporate meeting. I was able to meet people I haven’t seen in almost a year as well as get caught up on the future plans for the company.
Tomorrow I’m speaking at the Future of Tourism event in Toronto. Tickets are free if you are in the Toronto area and would like to attend.
Wednesday I’m off to Ecuador to explore Quito and the Galapagos Islands. I’m really looking forward to it as I have never been to Ecuador before. I hope to come away with an enormous treasure trove of images to share with you.

I’m no South America expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I do recall liking Ecuador the most out of the countries I’ve visited there. Staying tuned to hear your impressions…
Great Gary, thanks! Im waiting for your Galapagos Island images, wondering about those ‘Origin of Species’.
Gary, thanks much, Im waiting for the Galapagos images, that would be pretty to see the life of those renowned species.
Hey Gary!!!
Excited to hear you’re going to Ecuador. Could you do a favor for one of your most dedicated readers!? —Make these photos from S.A. really count. I will be spending a semester there next year exploring Quito, the Galapagos, and the Andes…so I hope you can make me more excited than I already am!!!

Looking forward to meeting you “in person” tonight! Welcome to Toronto!
