Scuba Diving in the Galapagos

This is what I'm looking forward to the most on this trip--scuba diving! Although I'm a little wary about the water temperature there. It should be an experience like no other. I hope the open water swim is not rough water but calm and not too cold. (I don't like cold water!) I am a little nervous about the swim meet since I haven't swum long course in years. Anyway, I am happy to be able to take my kids with me on this trip--I think it will be something they will remember for their lifetime. I feel like I just started getting around to reading about Ecuador (Lonely Planet) and the Galapagos, but I have been mentally preparing for this trip for a long time. I can't believe our departure is just ten days away! How exciting. I look forward to speaking Spanish throughout the trip and meeting new people and learning about a different culture. This will be my first South American vacation and probably not the last!
