My niece and nephew Kathleen and Pablo Weaver are biology professors at LaVerne University and travel a few times a year as part of their student programs or research projects they themselves are conducting. As a result they have, at the tender ages of "mid-thirties" been to some astounding places.
They have just returned from a student study voyage to Quito, Peru; the Upper Amazon basin; and the Galapagos Islands, with twelve of their research students in tow.
As part of the program, the three professors -- Kat, Pablo and a Spanish Language instructor -- and all twelve students contributed blog entries referencing their own experiences on the trip of a lifetime. Pablo mentioned it to me recently, and after reading a number of entires, I thought I would pass it along with my recommendation.

The Upper Amazon has been high on my No Opportunity Wasted list for some time, so this might force our hand some time in the next couple of years.
(Such a large world, such a small bank account.)
