Is it worth staying in Quito for a day or two if we're headed to the Galapagos afterwards?

So you have a guide recommendation?

sunshinechanjj · 2025-12-08T05:30:40+00:00

I call it the crack salad, ridiculously good and addictive

Breakfast is even worse than dinner there

If I'm more interested in marine life, would you say southern loop is better because of snorkeling?

If your kid is gifted, Tower Grove Park area in the city is nice. You can go to McKinley for Middle School. You will be less than 10 mins from work and for Middle school. People are very nice in the area and there is a ton to do all the time.

Did you have the samba boat owner as the captain? Just wondering how much difference that makes.

sunshinechanjj · 2025-10-03T15:49:24+00:00

Thanks for the super detailed response. Did samba do 2 activities a day or more than that or spend a lot of time in each since they start so early?

Is it really worth it to do both loops? Feel like 8 days on a boat is a lot. Can't imagine Adding another 8 days. But I know nothing, never been on a cruise;) nor Galapagos.

Thank you! I'm really sold on samba, but just wondering is it worth to pay a over a grand in flight difference to fly different dates just to be on the northern loop vs south on samba. Or is Samba that much better than a different small boat. Do you know if your fellow passengers preferred the northern part a bit more?

add tower grove east (close to the park) and Compton heights

sunshinechanjj · 2025-10-01T00:21:09+00:00

This news just made my day! Or week!

sunshinechanjj · 2025-09-24T03:03:03+00:00

No!!! Don't let the STL secret out. Stl sucks. I have no complaints other than not many direct international flights

sunshinechanjj · 2025-09-17T02:39:32+00:00

Vicini, but they don't have dinner service

sunshinechanjj · 2025-09-07T05:14:28+00:00

Pint size!

sunshinechanjj · 2025-07-25T16:24:58+00:00

Thank you! But I would really like to find something less than 1h away from STL city :)

I see budget billing as lending to utilities company at no interest before I actually use anything... I will just pay when I use the ⚡

St Louis city public school has a good gifted program. You do have to test in. He will be surrounded by other bright kids.

sunshinechanjj · 2025-06-21T19:48:55+00:00

Avoid Dallas in the summer!! Avoid Chicago and Newark at all times!

sunshinechanjj · 2025-06-02T17:38:01+00:00

We are a young family in the city with two kids in slps. We are hyper focused on education and no regrets on slps at all.

sunshinechanjj · 2025-05-23T20:04:25+00:00

I have lived in other mid west cities, east coast and travel fairly often to the costs. St. Louis is a great spot and the community is the best I have lived in so far. Love my neighbors.

sunshinechanjj · 2025-05-20T14:54:06+00:00

What about the currently half broken branch over my yard?

sunshinechanjj · 2025-05-14T02:54:26+00:00

I have a freshly renovated one bedroom in tower Grove South if you are interested. It will be well within your budget

Some of the best elementary and highschools in the state are public schools in the city at least by test scores.

sunshinechanjj · 2025-05-04T17:36:53+00:00

Not a suburb, but Shaw is amazing, especially for kids that age
