January 6, 2017
Time to check in with our January 2017 Ecuador expedition. MOST of the team arrived late last evening. Operative word there is ‘most’. IMG Senior Guide, Luke Reilly, with 2 of our climbers were/are stuck in Dallas. Flight got cancelled and they overnighted near the airport. No major issues. IMG’s Ecuadorian guide partner, Romulo Cardenas, met the arriving members at the airport and got them squared away for the night. Team is with Romulo now, touring Old Town Quito and heading north past the equator to the town of Otavalo this afternoon.
With any luck, Luke and our 2 climbers will arrive Quito this afternoon and head directly to Otavalo.
