Galapagos Islands Getaway Reminiscing |
Exotic, no? Yes! The Galapagos Islands are spectacular, and unique, and full of incredible wildlife you will not see anywhere else. To really see all there is to see in the islands, you need to take a cruise. So we did.
And a cruise means you are mingling with the masses a bit, and you're never sure who will be thrown into the mingle. Kerry and I did a girlfriend getaway there, and mingled, and had a fabulous voyage through Ecuador's best-known island cluster.

We take our Girlfriend Getaways seriously.
I recently chatted with a woman, we'll call her Jan, since I can't remember her name, who had just returned from the VERY same cruise that we had taken. The gorgeous boat was the M/V Eclipse, with it's beautifully appointed cabins, and delicious teak decks, and incredibly cheerful and knowledgeable naturalist staff.
Are you salivating yet? Did I mention the pisco sours?
Jan echoed our sentiments of the overall luxury and delightfulness of the voyage, and she then told us that one of her random shipmates was Zandra Rhodes.
Zandra Rhodes: fabulous, outrageous British clothing designer, who used to dress Princess Diana.

She's a designer! She dressed Princess Diana! And she has pink hair!
Lucky Jan regaled us with tales of Zandra's quirky, colorful shipboard ensembles, and sassy personality, and delighted in recounting one particular evening when Zandra brought some of her sketches into the lounge, to share with the group.
Are you kidding me?
Would you like to know who was on OUR voyage?
An obnoxious group of six retired Florida octogenarians, who were ironically juvenile, and - swear to God - insisted on having SAME SEATS for all their meals. SAVESIES! You can't sit here, it's SAVED!
I was nearly beheaded by a walker when I tried to sit on one of the lounge couches. It's SAVED!
They paid no attention to the naturalist's lectures, and on one outing, as we sat in a small panga boat, bobbing along through a quiet mangrove, one of the Walking Raisins barked out "Mangroves! Pfft! We've got mangroves in Florida!"
