NP, when is the best time to do Galapagos in terms of weather and seeing the animals?

I packed too many dinner outfit options (and I only use carryons). I, along with everyone else ended up wearing the same one outfit on repeat every night. We wore it to eat and then went to bed pretty quickly afterwards.
Definitely medication for sea sickness. I brought old sneakers for the boat and shore excursions. They STUNK and went straight into the trash at the airport.

This forum is rife with this.

I am constantly wanting to react to it like you did, but have given up.

Weird, our boat made us remove shoes for thorough cleaning between island visits to prevent cross contamination. They were super clean! They did however melt a bit on the hot lava.
Some bring new sneakers, some just have them cleaned by staff before first visit.
I’m not sure all boats do this. Ours was a small motor sailboat with a good bit of staff.
We were told beforehand to bring cash tips for each staff member and captain, to present at a dinner the final night.
We travelled during an El Niño year, and the water churned a bit more when crossing equator (several times during trip)….bring straps to keep things from rolling around on dressers tables etc in your cabin.

Sneaker poster, you are right. My recall was off. I had a new pair of shoes for the boat. It was the sneakers I wore off the boat and removed that were trashed afterwards. Thanks for clarifying for me!
