Marcie, maybe you could e-mail Patricia, the SA TA that Todd, Ngaire and I used on our mini-segment a couple of years ago in the Chilean fjords. From my experiece these people network with their same ilk, and she could check them out. Like the others, I am leery when I have to give a cc# in advance. While I have never been "burned", I just don't like to do it. I'm having to cancel a room I rented and paid for in Huatulco for Jes for PARTY and now she can't come. I wonder if they will refund.

You can e-mail her at patriciadufflocq@senderosdechile.com

She also had another address:
patriciadufflocq@hotmail.com

BTW, I hope you and Tom will be spending time with Patricia when you dock in Puerto Mont! She was great!
