The introduction to "My Journey To and Through Ecuador πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¨ " series.
Pardon my absence, I've been extremely busy during my recent travels and have had a lack of reliable internet connection. 

#### I am extremely excited to be back and to start a new series of posts about my EPIC journey to and through Ecuador where I will share my experiences with plenty of photos!! ####

In the posts to come I will share about the bus rides, taxi rides, the birth of baby Qinoku, the unique hostels we stayed in, our beach house and more! 

#### Before I began my journey I enjoyed my last well shower, ####

#### taking advantage of my last day in the @gardenofeden. ####

I did some last minute packing and preparation for my departure early the next morning. 

The next morning I loaded my bags and headed to the airport. After getting through some heavy traffic I made it to the airport about 45 minutes before my flight. I ended up waiting in the wrong line to check my bags in where I lost 20 mins. I made it to the correct line and got my bags checked. I then went through security where they persisted to manually check one of my carry ons, due to some crystal that I had packed. 

I barely made my flight ✈️to Fort Lauderdale where I would then meet up with 

#### @quinneaker, @inokalrutz, Qiqi and Noki. We then would all fly together to Quito, Ecuador! ####

We just barely made that flight do to similar circumstances I faced the flight before. 

##### After arriving to the airport in Quito we claimed our bags πŸ’Ό and went through customs. #####

#### The girls had no problem entertainment themselves ####

The hostel that we were booked to stay at sent a van to pick us up and of course our massive amount of luggage that we had to strap to the top of the vehicle. πŸ˜†

We made it to the hostel around 11pm, unloaded and had a good nights rest. 

The next morning we awoke and enjoyed a lovely breakfast and prepared for our next ride to the bus station.  🚌 

##### While waiting on our ride the girls made some friends #####
