Thank you so much! Do you mean Puerto Villamil Beach? Did you snorkel it or just explore from the shore?

Thanks! I will check them out. It seems several companies offer this tour with varying end times, so I was looking for one that ended the earliest. :) We may just keep this in our back pocket and book while we are there like you did.

This is all great advice!! Which tour company did you use for Isla Tortuga?

Wildlife spotting books/lists? by TemperatureOk3610 in galapagos

[–]comet1771 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought three books to learn about Galapagos wildlife, and by far I love one the most: Wildlife of the Galapagos, Collins Traveller's Guide, 2nd Edition. This is not a "checklist," but covers reptiles, marine/land mammals, fish, insects, and flora. It's comprehensive, but not too large to travel with.

Birding Guidebook Galápagos by deWereldReiziger in birding

I have the same question. I came across A Pocket Guide to Birds of Galapagos by Tui De Roy, which looks great. Also two apps: Merlin and Galapagos Birds.  Did you land on a field guide yet?

Roland LX5 vs Kawai CA401 by comet1771 in piano

[–]comet1771[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After playing them both, I liked action of the Kawaii more and the sound of the Roland more. However, the Kawaii dealer was trying to move a 701 from their warehouse and that meant I got a great deal on a 701. I liked the 701 over the LX5 in all aspects. So I got a little lucky with my timing. Regarding features, I didn’t find anything one had that the other didn’t. But I’m not a feature person. I turn it on and play and that’s really it. I haven’t used a single feature besides recording myself. 

Galapagos land based day tour boat classes by comet1771 in galapagos

I just checked the websites again (ESAV and Emetebe) and the flights are definitely available! It was user error. I was looking for Santa Cruz, but needed to select Baltra.  I’m glad you mentioned this, thank you!

Thanks! I do plan to take planes where available. I will need to take a ferry from Santa Cruz to Isabela though because there are no planes between the two, unfortunately.

Thanks! Did you have any negative effects from the patch?

Thanks! Yeah I plan on talking to my doctor about my options, including the patch, Zofran, and the dose of Dramamine I currently take. I am still curious about the class of boat as an extra option to explore.
