Getting excited and a little nervous

In and around World

In exactly 14 days ben and I will be arriving in Quito, Ecuador. I have been so busy studying spanish and not remembering any of thing, it will be nice to finally get down there and make our way to the coast. We will be staying in the small town of canoa at a language school/hostel called the sundown inn. google search it if your bored. ha After staying in canoa for a month, we are going to make our way into the jungle for a week. Probably the most nervous about that part of the trip. After that we will be traveling through Ecuador and into Peru on a trek for Machu Pichu. I am sure we will run into plenty of adventures and hopefully learn alot. I should be able to update this thing atleast once a week or so with some pictures and an update on our adventures.

If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to send them my way!
