Let's look at the Galapagos Island options.

•       December is high tourist season
•       But January is bargain price
•       Having stalled over the idea of when to go it seems no time is bad.
•       The trip looks expensive, but…
•       Airfare is included on some tours
•       All shore excursions are included on most tours
•       There are lots of choices of tours
•       I plotted several of the itineraries on several copies of the map.  I’ve been plotted which birds and animals we expect to see on which Islands, coves, and inlets. Then we made a list of the animals and creatures we wish to see.
•       The animal list is quite easy blue-footed boobies, penguins, and giant tortoises.
