Topic Wiki

So I've been getting lots of requests for a thread like this, I suppose I'll try to give it a go. Most of my more interesting statuses are posted in places with terrible internet connections, and it's hard enough to put it on both Whatsapp and Instagram. But let's give it a shot and see how it goes.

If you want to see my statuses directly you can Whatsapp me a request to be added, see my contact info via my signature below. You can also follow me on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/morrishersko/, the stories are typically very similar to the Whatsapp statuses.

Any  noticeable difference of a “typical” trip with the new partnership?

Likely a larger group than my typical trip and better flight integration (we'll have a group flight available), but that's pretty much it.

The idea of this shidduch is that I have experience with epic trips, and they have experience with larger groups. I've worked with them in the past a bit more behind the scenes, but this is the first trip we're officially doing together.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

How much of this partnership was based on their viral RH videos? :))

My point is just that this is a long time in the making.

Continuing the trip from two weeks ago, for some reason I haven't uploaded it here.

Did they take away any of your food? What are the rules?
And did the cops page you on the intercom from the gate?  ;D
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

No issues experienced in:
Peru
Ecuador
Guatemala

Galapagos: all bags are thoroughly checked at departure and if approved are then tamper-evident sealed. Expect an extremely thorough examination, they will tear through your bag and check every single thing. I followed all the rules to a T - it's complicated but they will find something if you try to sneak it in. I came prepared with a printout of their list with everything I had circled and the restrictions noted, and they really appreciated that.

One thing I was not expecting was a complete ban on plastic goods - there is nothing online but there's a giant sign in the airport. They allowed me to keep it after I promised to bring back all my trash.

Let's do this thing:




36 extremely unhappy people stuffed into a violently shaking boat. I was literally thrown into the air a few times:
