Hi Marinel,

I am appreciative of your effort to organize this exciting trip, however the reason I signed up for it was the under-10 person size of it as posted at the time. Now we are getting to the size group that I do not feel entirely comfortable with and I don't like the trip so much anymore. This switch on a trip this expensive is problematic. I know nothing can be done about it but just wanted to let you know how I feel about the changes to the trip.

Hi Marinel- I am from Arizona and have hiked about 500 miles in the Canyon (and still go a couple times a year). If you want any beta on the trip let me know) I think the Canyon is the center of the universe ;-)

I see some people talking to you about making trips to travel together what meet up group is this.

Glad you joined the group, Marinel! It was great seeing you at the show this past Monday, hope to see you at another Meetup soon!

Hi Marinel! I am new to this group, however, noticed that you are planning a trip to San Blas. Have you been there before? If not, please let me know if you have any questions about the Kuna Indians. I lived in San Blas for a little over 2 years (specifically on the island of Ustupu), so am familiar with the culture and some of the San Blas communities. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to go on this trip, but happy to talk about San Blas if that would be helpful.

Best,
Mary

Hi there,

This is Buyanaa. I wanted to let you know that i just purchased my tickets online. It's through American Airlines and my arrival time is at 11:20am in Managua Airport on Oct 6 and departure is at 12:30pm on Oct 11.
Have you had a chance to organize the next meetupo with the group?

Thanks,

Buyanaa

Hi Marinel, Great trips!! Ones that I would absolutely sign up for, but for the fact that I schedule my expeditions/vacations about a year out. Working, and actually have three weeks vacation...each calendar year. 2011's vacation time....spent already. Ten days levada walking in Madeira...14 days backpacking/hiking in Colorado. If you can plan further ahead, I'd be happy to join you. Miles

Hi Marinel! The trekking in Patagonia and Chile sounds awsome but before I say I would like to join the group I need to talk to you to make sure I know what I would be getting into. I have done the Milford Trek in New Zealand but this one sounds tougher. I am fluent in Spanish and I have been to both Argentina dn Chile. I am in Africa right now on a short business trip. Do you have skype? Look forward to hearing more about this trip. Thanks, Marcy

Hi. I did as you said and tried to join so I could advertise rides and it says "pending" :-) Thanks
