Fairly uneventful. The day before the trip I had my credit card fraudulently used at the Alli Baba restaurant in El Cajon. Had to close the account, the new credit card was FedEx to Quito. See picture of Hupert delivering my credit card. Going through TSA security at LAX, taking off my belt my pants hit the floor. I thought I was pretty quick but turned around and saw the woman behind me laughing hysterically I guess I was wrong. Anyhow, made it to Quito okay, watched Ecuador play soccer on TV at an outdoor bar. Lots of excitement, Ecuador lost. Nice hotel room, trying to figure out where to head next
