Will following your plans and then after trip reports with interest!

Bum. It woud be lovely if you could have come - but I did recall your comment on the Scillies thread, which was what made me not ask you directly....I thought it may affect long term committments

Anyway, we can sort all this over the next few months (read 10!!). No rush, but David A's horror flight story is one to bear in mind. I would rather spend that extra day in Ecuador!

KLM's sports kit allowance is 40 Euros per leg of the journey. If you change a couple of times before reaching your final destination, that means 120 Euros there and another 120 Euros back. In addition, the sports kit must not weigh more than 15 kilos.

Yes trying not to commit myself to too much diving from next spring onwards! But off to Tenerife on Saturday for 2 weeks of lying in the sun, drinking in Rebecca's bar and joining Dave, Connor and Aquayle (think he's called Andy) for a few dives!!

World champion freediver Tanya Streeter is in the Galapagos Islands to discover how freediving has evolved since the time of the dinosaurs. She encounters primitive diving lizards and turtles that can hold their breath for hours at a time. She's exhausted keeping pace with a flightless cormorant and completely out-dived by a bunch of tiny penguins. But it's the sea lions which transport her to whole new level of freediving.
