It is a little known fact that many international BIRDS AS ART IPTs, Photo-Cruises, and Photo-Safaris fill without ever being\u00a0announced to the public.\u00a0 They are sold out by advance\u00a0word of mouth and from our BAA Friends List.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Galapagos 2009 Photo-Cruise had been sold out for more than a year and in fact, I already have many spots sold\u00a0for the 2010m\u00a0trip.\u00a0\u00a0 I received an e-mail today from a\u00a0registrant will be unable to attend.\u00a0 I am therefore, urgently looking for one male photographer to fill the last spot on this July’s trip.\u00a0 I do expect this spot to sell almost instantly once it is announced via\u00a0BAA Notes tomorrow.\u00a0 Here are the basics:\u00a0 July 11-18 on the boat.\u00a0 Fly to Quito and July 9th, spend a day in Quito on the 10th (a travel delay insurance day), fly to the archipelago on the 11th, fly back to Quito on the 18th, and fly back to the US on July 19th.\u00a0\u00a0 We have the very best guide on the planet,\u00a0a wonderful ship, and a killer itinerary that visits all four of the great photography islands.\u00a0 We are almost always the first group on each island in the morning and the last group off each island in the evening.\u00a0 The cost of the trip is $6999 and includes everything but soft drinks, alcoholic beverages,\u00a0the crew and guide tips, and your flights to and from Quito.\u00a0The flights to and from the Galapagos are included.\u00a0 \u00a0Linda Robbins (the Hummingbird Queen) will be co-leading this trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
