Adventures wouldn't be adventures if they went as smoothly as business trips (though they are not always smooth).  So it was with this trip.  We arrived safely in Guayaquil but two pieces of Calvin's luggage wound up in Panama.  One followed promptly on the next flight ( 6 hours later) but the other took a further 24 hours, so we had to stay in Guayaquil an extra day.  This was no bad thing since 33 hours flying and a seven hour time change meant that we slept for about 13 hours!   Still, not entirely caught up, but have developed a system

You only allow your body food at the times appropriate for where you are, and the other patterns fall into line quicker.  Anyway, finally made it to Salinas, and after a good night's sleep, are ready to tackle the problems of the day - and all the days to come.
