Journey to Quito

We knew it would be a long journey from Minneapolis to Quito, and it did indeed live up to our expectations. My first experience on the megabus, as it´s known, was preceded by stories of fire, chronic lateness, and obnoxious phone talkers. There was no fire and no truly annoying cell phone chatters, but there was indeed lateness... We were JUST on time for our 10:30 ride, and when the bus finally pulled up at 12:22, we were certainly ready to abandon our corner to board the bus and begin the journey to South America. The rest was fairly seamless with just one delay in Miami putting us in Quito at 1:00 AM. While late night arrivals aren´t always fun, the silver lining is waking up in a brand new place to explore and learn...

More on Quito to come. :)

  1. You rode a double decker bus all the way to S. America? The Megabus you're talking about different from the one that goes from here to Chigaco? I'm so confused.
