Has anyone ever been before?  I leave this upcoming Monday for a 10 day vacation on the Yacht Isabella II (http://www.galapagos-inc.com/shipdetails/isabela/index.html), and I was wondering if anyone has been before?

thanks

Never been, but have communicated with numerous amateur radio "DX-peditions" that were there.

The wildlife is both exotic and rare.

Massive turtles live HUNDREDS of years.....birds, lizards, etc., found nowhere else on Earth.

Don't expect KFC and Mc Donalds, or even chain motels.

Yes, please post photos!!!!

You must post many many pix of this. I am so jealous!!!!

If you don't mind my asking, how much did this cruise cost and where is the embarcation / debarcation locations? On the face of it the cruise sounds simply fantastic.

You're not a real man unless while you're there, you kill an endangered species, eat it's flesh, and mount it's carcass over your fireplace.
