The Spa we are staying at has not gotten back to us with the promised help in obtaining a hotel in Quito, much less the reservations for the flight from Quito to Loja.  That means I’m on the internet searching out which hotel has the best deal, transportation from the airport and breakfast.  It has been educational, as well as frustrating!  Should not have counted on the assistance from the Spa I guess.

Now, admittedly, a large portion of my problem is that I don’t speak Spanish.  The hotel information is in English so that isn’t a problem, it’s the airline that is a real challenge.  I talked to my daughter tonight who said I should ask my neighbor to help, she speaks Spanish fluently.  Think I may do that tomorrow.  Nothing like cutting it close!

Some of the hotels I have looked at have so much charm, it’s hard to pick one.  The rates are drastically lower than those in the USA, which is sweet for us!

We may get to Quito and never get out to the Spa if I can’t get the airline under control….some of the joy of international travel…I wouldn’t miss it for the world!
