-- Ecuador or Brazil?
Pages (3): « 1 2 [3]

Well, it depends quite a lot on what they are looking for. What do you girls want to do in South America?

My experience with Brazil is that it was nothing like a Texas strip mall.

Depending on how active I can be, I am hoping that we can do some hiking. We will likely visit some of the larger cities and do some general exploring.

Nothing incredibly exciting...

brazil isn't dangerous...that i know of. my friend goes there frequently and loves it. says the women are great. lol

So turns out we're not doing either. We're going to Jamaica instead. I got the confirmation e-mail for our flights about 2 hours ago

Should be fun.

Any suggestions, thoughts, previous experiences etc. from Jamaica?

We're going to the Starfish Trelawny Resort.

Any good excursions/stores/things to do?

Gimme details.

Not to threadjack or anything, but since the original topic was Ecuador, and I said that I was going to Ecuador, I've since gone on my trip and I feel that I should opine on my experiences. Scuba diving alone I saw hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, silky sharks, white tip reef sharks, galapagos sharks, numerous eels, numerous octopus, dolphin, massive schools of rays, etc. Well I took some dive video that captures maybe half of what I saw underwater (the first 2 minutes are slow ... and oh yea music choice was picked with family in mind not TA):



That's just scuba diving. There were also naturalist tours where you saw giant tortoises, blue footed boobies, marine iguanas, equatorial penguins, flightless cormorants, etc. Many of these species you see in the Galapagos are completely indigenous and you will see them nowhere else in the world.

Galapagos aside, we ventured into the amazonian rainforest where you can see a variety of monkeys, tarantulas, piranha, rare birds, sloths, snakes, etc., etc., etc.

I have no good advice with respect to jamaica, but to anyone else that is considering ecuador as a place to visit, DO IT. It is either the best or second best vacation of my life.

BAH!

It makes me wish we were doing that instead.

Oh well, I will probably visit her in Ecuador sometime within the next year.
