We made it but what a trip. We were able to sell the last vehicle, close on house, pack, and come back to Cuenca in 14 days. We left Cuenca on Jan. 6th and arrived back on Jan. 20th. We are now renting a place until our apt is ready. Allied Van Lines came and packed two crates, 110 boxes, 3800#, they are keeping in storage until we tell them to ship to Cuenca.
We left Austin with 4 footlockers, 5 suitcases, 4 carry on, when we arrived at the ticket counter, agent asked if were leaving the country. I thought she was going to have us escorted out of the terminal because of the amount of luggage, yes we had to pay. When we arrived in Quito, so did the 9 pieces of luggage, wow, great. Two of the footlockers had holes punched in them, rough landing i guess.
Spent the nite in quito, decided to hire a van for trip home, thought it would be a lot easier than putting busted footlockers on the plane again. Nine hours later we arrived at the apt. If any of you have not made this trip, i would suggest it, great sights along the road.
Hope to see all of you soon.

Glad to see you made it, Jim and Silene, and with nothing worse to show for it than some holes in the trunk. Not bad.
