Happy Independence Day from Miami International Airport

John was packed on Sunday. I was packed by 5 pm Tuesday when we left for the San Francisco Airport … and I was packed without a meltdown. Now it is 7 am in Miami and we are here until our flight for Quito leaves at 3. We will arrive
Quito this evening, spend tomorrow there, and be joined by the rest of the group tomorrow evening.  On Friday, we will fly to Cuenca to begin our “international living adventure.” So what is this adventure … we will stay in Cuenca, the third largest city in Ecuador, in a fully furnished apartment and have private Spanish lessons in a language school.
