Welcome to the Advisory Opinions Podcast. This is David French and welcome back Sarah Isker.

You were in the Galapagos Islands.

David, it was incredible. It was the best trip I've ever taken. Not even close. So it's

hard to think of highlights. So first of all, the trip was sort of like a family-friendly

sea-alice ad. We were, it was mostly retirees, but like really active, awesome retirees. So

we just had the most fun with the people on our ship. And highlights, I don't know, like

the snorkeling was incredible. The water was so cold, I actually hyperventilated. We had

people get mild hypothermia. It was 62 degrees. We did wear wetsuits, but it wasn't enough.

But in exchange for the unpleasantness of hopping in the water, I got slapped by like a 20-foot

man-ta and spent like 15 minutes with just like me and a sea lion playing in the water,

you know, going, you know, upside down and making circles. And we just had she and I had

the best time. That's unbelievable. Now, do you fly directly to the Galapagos Islands?

Or do you have goodness now? Okay. DC to Miami to Guainkill, which is an Ecuadorian sort

of port city. And then Guainkill to the Galapagos. And then a short little zodiac ride to our

boat. It was 38 people of passengers, like guests on the boat. Yeah. That's fantastic. And

so you spent the whole week on this little boat? Yeah. Oh, man. That sounds great. That's

amazing. I mean, we had internet in a technical sense, but like, like, 1988 internet, which

was great. You could, you know, if you had an emergency, okay, you could maybe set a text,

but that was it. You weren't like getting or sending photos or big emails or anything

like that. So it was awesome. Totally unplugged. Oh, that's amazing. So my dream vacation,

when I'm wanting to take with my son and we intend to do it, we're going to fly down

to, I believe Buenos Aires and then get in a boat and go past the Falklands South Georgia
