You thought I was going to say Texas, didn't you? Well proud Texans may banter this saying when they are trying to convince every person they meet how awesome their state is, but now I'm thinking that it's most appropriate for the galapagos islands. To be honest I really wasn't expecting them to be as grandiose as they turned out to be. I spent so much time planning and comparing different tours, flight prices, island hopping routes, hotel options and travel agencies that by the time everything was booked and the itinerary was printed I almost wasn't that excited to go. It was almost like all the planning I had done made me feel like I had experienced the islands already and I didn't really have to go anymore. But I was wrong.
The Galapagos Islands were amazing! Really they were truly wonderful and now I am unabashedly going to rant about them and try to convince the world that everyone should try to see them for themselves someday.
