New Travel Reservation Site
October 14, 2007 
patwatson I have just looked over the new travel site that offers discount airline tickets which was just released to see if it is, in fact, less hassle then some of the other sites that I use all the time. What I found was an easy to use site with a little more information available than some [...]

We took a drive to the Missouri border today, which is only 40 miles from here. On the way back I was amazed that I had never noticed the "forest" that runs for miles (east and west) by the Keokuk exit. Perhaps it was because it was so beautiful that I paid attention today, or [...]
Comments Off We are home!
Wow, talk about a LONG day! We left Vilcabamba yesterday at 2:45 pm for the trip to Loja to catch the plane for Quito. The ride to the airport is not a hasty one, the roads are really curvey (obviously since they are mountain roads) so it takes a while. It isn’t that many miles, [...]
Comments Off Last night in Ecuador
We had the privilage of having dinner with Jon Cypher, co-owner of the spa. He has a rich history as a broadway actor (even in Evita…my favorite!) and on Major Dad, Hill Street Blues and other movies and TV. We have had the privilage to call him a friend while we are here, as with [...]
Comments Off Greg Helping Carol
Greg helped Carol on the net this morning and so I thought I would post a picture of the setting of where they worked, not all that tough of a location! Tonight we are having dinner with Carol and Jon to say goodbye. We’ll miss them, they are treasures found in a far away land! [...]

Comments Off Greg is in Loja and I’m TRYING to work
Ok, so Greg told me the other day that I had gotten much better on the website and was doing well. I truly believe that when he gets back from Loja he is going to recind all those remarks! I am totally frustrated on how to do the page on the vegetable ivory items I [...]

We had quite a busy day today. We looked at properties around the Vilcabamba area, two WAY up in the mountains that had a wonderful view for a goat. I really don’t like being that high and I really don’t like roads that are so rough they make your bottom and back feel like they [...]
Comments Off A Hotel Reservation Site – Looks Pretty Good to Me
I went online to check out the new site Hotel Reservations to see how easily it worked and the variety of options it offers to the traveler, whether domestic or international. I must admit that I was pleased with how easily it works, the wide variety of offerings and the fact that it not only gives [...]

Today was windy, very windy, in Vilcabamba, Carol said it usually is like this in August but that it started early this year…whee! It’s not that it was cold, just windy. Tonight will probably be pretty cool, more blankets for the beds and we will be fine. We went into town today to see the [...]
