Ecuador and Galapagos Tour
We are going to the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador, and hope you will join us! I’ve been promoting this special “Beyond Europe” event for about a year, but perhaps you haven’t heard about it. We are “filling the boat” with a group of adventurous alumni and friends, so this promises to be an exclusive once-in-a-lifetime tour for us. The group is limited to 16 passengers (eight staterooms), and we have a few spots remaining. I hope you’ll consider joining Charlotte and me in November 2026 as we get out of Europe for a few weeks and share this chunk of South America with a special group of friends. I hope you’ll be one of them!

“It was our great pleasure to travel with David & Charlotte for the 3rd time. Our tour which began in Budapest, Hungary ended in Dubrovnik, Croatia. This tour was atypical as we began w a bus and boarded a yacht halfway through. Budapest was nice, but the Croatian island ports were stunning. Plitvice National Park and the tour with a ranger was a highlight as well. We absorbed a remarkable amount of history and saw vineyards, a century’s old winery and midieval villages. We traveled with a group of 8 friends and family which was an added bonus! It was also wonderful to be hosted on this tour by our new Croatian friends, Kruno & Suzanna! Thanks again, David!”
