Baltimore and would not turn it over to Icelandaire. My "case" was waiting
for me at the Delta claim when I arrived in Detroit.
Sorry to hear that. I hope you still enjoyed Iceland though!
I also highly recommend the Galapagos. First recommendation: go on a small yacht trip, and not the cruise ships. You will see 10x more, but still the pace is reasonable and adjustable. As for when to go, it is a much more complex answer. I have friends that went in Spring, while I went in the fall. The water temperature was 10 deg C different, and colder for us. In one season it is green and lush, but difficult to see the tortoises; in another season brown and matted but can see tortoises easier. Again, a little research. I thought our trip in November was perfect - warm days, breezy evenings. But a wet suit would have made the snorkling a little more comfortable. FYI - you don't need to be able to dive, but you want to be experienced at snorkling. Snorkling with the penguins is one of the most exciting moments of my life.
Good luck!
