		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about exploring the Galapagos Islands on the Explorer II.  The ship is owned and operated by Canodros who markets themselves as ecotourism providers.  There were a couple of things that I was concerned about like how comfortable would the ship be, would we get motion sickness, what [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=walkingates.wordpress.com&blog=2114140&post=100&subd=walkingates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

This is a trip I would like to take &#8230; I think, but [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=walkingates.wordpress.com&blog=2114140&post=67&subd=walkingates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I largely think that insurance is a scam, but it provides one with peace of mind, especially if one is traveling to a less stable country.  Of course, this is not the only reason to purchase travel insurance &#8230; often coverage protects against trip and baggage delays, lost luggage, repatriation, medical and dental expenses, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=walkingates.wordpress.com&blog=2114140&post=66&subd=walkingates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I apparently have a passion for traveling, which is probably evident given I have a travel blog and site, WalkinGates.  As far as I can remember, I have always enjoyed traveling.  As a youth, my family and I minimally took an annual holiday/vacation.  When I think about it, there are several reason why I like to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=walkingates.wordpress.com&blog=2114140&post=15&subd=walkingates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
