My son and I spent a week in the Galapagos Islands. This was an absolutely amazing experience. Since the animals are not touched by humans and have very few predators, they are just as curious of you as you are of them, making this great for photography.

I tend to save two copies of a photo on my hard drive. One at full size and one at a quarter size. I upload the smaller size to a photo sharing site and keep the large one for printing.

It was quite the excursion just getting there,but worth it. We took a red-eye from Seattle to Dallas to Miami to Ecuador. We were both pretty tired and crabby by this point. Over nighted in Ecuador and took a morning flight to Baltra Island to board the ship. We then cruised 8 days through the islands.
