I had heard much about the enchanting Galapagos Islands, and my interest was spiked further by the recent Charles Darwin feature on the Discovery Channel. When OSSN supplier SITA World Tours offered an agent fam trip to the Islands, I jumped at the chance. I met up with 20 other agents in Miami, and we were off on what was the adventure of a lifetime. After 40 years in travel, I have never been so enthralled by any destination. We succeeded in packing a 10-day itinerary into seven days. All flights were on AeroGal, the Galapagos airline, which operates a daily flight from Miami to Guayaquil, Ecuador. The SITA published programs feature international travel on LAN Airlines, with service from JFK, LAX, and MIA. |
