    Thank you so much for all your assitance.  We had a wonderful time [Archipel II] and the kids want to go back.  I will definitely recommend you to any friends who are thinking of a trip.  I want to apologize for being a pest about the details.  It made me anxious to do things over the internet. 

    All my best to you and your family.

    Hi Robin, Here is a more detailed response.  The guide was very knowledgeable and responsible.  he clearly wanted us to have a wonderful experience and we had minimal contact with other boats.  At only one stop was there a large boat, but that was the time we got to swim with penguins.  Some times there were two other small boats, some times we were the only ones on the islands.  The itinerary seemed great with lots of different types of wildlife.  The crew was very attentive and the cook/wait staff always accommodated the dietary restrictions of those on board.  The rooms were clean and spacious (for a boat).  We had a grand time.

    Robin was so helpful with excellent advice.
