Finally, less than one week before departure, I have received my homestay information. I will be living with Alberto, a teacher, and his wife and son, Amanda and Santiago (who is 23). For the first time, I realize that this fantastic voyage is imminent. Knowing the names and address of the people with whom I will be living has eased my mind just enough that maybe now I can finish my shopping and begin packing (but probably not).
The first few days of my journey are as follows: Depart from BWI, connect in ATL, land at Mariscal Sucre Airport in Quito Get in a van Arrive at hotel Tuesday - still unaccounted for Wednesday & Thursday - begin orientation/review of predeparture readings
Beyond this, your guess is as good as mine regarding my location and activities.
