[Tweeters] Galapagos tips?

[HAL MICHAEL]

We went on the MV Grace, through Quasar. Nice small boat; wonderful trip.  They offered two routes.  Basically a northern one and a southern one.  We did the northern, which seemed best for  a wide variety of things to see and less open water crossings.

As for the mainland, we came into and out of Quito.  There are quite a few great birding lodges close by.  We did Tandayapa when we did the Galapagos trip but there are many others.
