I really hate to be a pest, but...We just realized that we can fly directly from Atlanta to Quito w/out changing planes.
What is the road like between Quito and Manta? I'm trying to get over my need to be a total gringa who must have her own car but dang, the thought of being stuck on a bus instead of stopping any old place we want to rubs me wrong.
To all of you who keep putting up with us who ask so many questions, a big thank you!
