Hey guys,
I'm headed down to Quito at the end of April. I've been there before so have some knowlege of the area but I'd like to hook up with anyone who happens to be around. Always kinda cool to run around with someone. Let me know if anyone will be around.

Hello to all the lurkers and posters in this thread,
I am a new poster but a long time "lurker" and really have been interested in visiting Ecuador especially after the detailed and great reports I have seen by regular and senior members (Tung., Bobisee and others). I looked up some rates after seeing a recent post and found AA has a rate of 324.00 leaving from JFK with one stop in Miami with departure date of november 20 and return on november 30. I realize this isn't the cheapest rate but it serves the purpose of accumulating miles to add to my Brasil miles and the guys I'm going with will benifit from using AA too. I have read the forum and will read it again but if anyone here can make suggestions or comments about these dates or if they might be there during that time I would appreciate it. I will probably use the JW Marriott in Quito as a "homebase" since I can get a really good rate there but certainly will look to have a much cheaper spot that is girl friendly closer to the action. Again, any comments or suggestions would be great and in the meantime I will get back to reviewing previous posts to the thread. I hope to add to the information here and in other threads as I attain my monger wings :)
Be safe!
What are my odds of leaving the airport, scoring, and making it back in time? I have 4 hours.
I have an idea of how much I should pay the girls, but what about taxis? Would it also be possible to "rent" a taxista for the time I'm there, or should I press my luck? Is it even necessary?
I had no problem taxi-ing around la Zona Roja in TJ, Mexico, I'm wondering if Ecuador's the same way.

Your odds are excellent, just walk across the street to Cafe Rojo, it's literally one block away from the airport. Check out the map I'm including with this post for the exact address/location.

I didn't hear from anyone but I'm guessing it's because I'm a newbie. I'm still rereading the forum posts but in the meantime I have booked the trip. Myself and two fairly seasoned mongers (brazil, costa rica, dr and others places) that have never been to Ecuador will be down from Nov. 21 to the 29th with a layover in Panama on the way down. I would really like to hear from some of the members about things that may not be mentioned in the forum already. I'm talking about little things that one might take down with them that will come in handy like lube (I saw that mentioned...lol) or things the girls might like that may make the experience more GFE when desired. I took little gifts like lip gloss and lollipops and some chocolates down to Brasil when I went and the girls enjoyed them. In some of the forums I've seen mentioned to bring a couple novelty t-shirts that the girls enjoy too.
I know there are very good maps and price listings and even hotel locations that are girl friendly. I don't see any mention of the Marriott being girl friendly but I know that will not be a problem unless I decide to try an escort service then I'm not sure.
We would definately like to at least meet with some others from the board if they will be down during that time (I think I saw one or two members posting they would be down) and we can compare notes over a beer or something. I hope to get some responses from you guys and as always, thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully we'll see some of the members down there.
Be safe and thanks Jackson for making this forum and it's rewards possible.
Hey guys,
I will be headed down to Quito on Nov 23rd for the Thanksgiving weekend. I've been a few times already so I know the scene a bit and actually want to try some of the things that Tung had been writing about. I will most likely stay at the Crossroads Hostel in La Mariscal. It's close to the main action but also has some quiet...;)
A friend of mine owns a bar there so I usually hang there a bit and chase chicas too...;)
If any of you would like, I wouldn't mind to run around a bit and check out the scene.

[QUOTE=Captain Napalm]Thank you sir! Will you be in the area on the 29th?[/QUOTE]Here at an internet cafe. Because I am a passenger in transit, I cannot leave the airport. So I have to find a way to keep myself occupied for the next 4 hours.
This sucks!
Looks like I have to make up for lost time once I get to Lima.
This seems like a decent fare for Biz. I flew on Lan to Lima a year ago, and it was nice. With taxes probably $960. Save 3% when you buy on Lan's own website.

Well I finally made it back here. Im still adjusting/suffering with altitude sickness which I hope leaves soon.
Im supposed to be here until nov 21.
Just for your information it is slow season here and there is not alot of the usual commotion going on in the mariscal(touist area) but thats not our mission anyway right?
I have a few other things to say but no lie my ass is floored by the altitude and Im in shape which is something to think about if your coming down for a week to screw. I dont see myself screwing at least for a few more days. So you figure you book a one week trip then what do you get out of it?
I usually monger solo but if anyone is around pm me and lets have a mate or something. Maybe someone would like to give each other smut assignments then get back together on the outcome..let me know.
The better hotels will offer you a better deal around this time. Im moving into a classy joint with an elevator for $54 with taxes inc. in america it would run around $100 plus .You decide.
You have no idea how little I feel that I cant do my duty because Im out of breath..Im only 37.
The Lan flight from nyc to quito via guayaquil sucked. They lied to me and told me I would stay on the same plane..not true you change gates and go through security again etc. I could have done the copa airlines through panama deal for $200 less which is more or less the same thing.
God bless tung.
I am not looking forward to the altitude issues especially since I will only be there for a little over a week. Hopefully you will bounce back and up and continue to have fun there. The hotel you're moving to sounds good. Care to share the name? I will be there with two friends of mine in a few weeks and I have a room at the Marriott for a good rate but a little more then the deal you have. Enz. sent me a reassuring note about the Marriott and it's location in relation to a particular spot to check out and I have been reading the forum over and over and taking notes so as not to ask what has been answered already.
I still have a few questions though. TLN does not seem like an option that most use when in Quito so the idea of girl-friendly hotels is not mentioned too often if at all. Anyone have any comments on this? Also, is it just an issue for the hotel if the girl comes in during the evening? I know she needs to look conservative so as not to make the hotel look sleezy or offend other guests but if she isn't there over night does the hotel still charge an extra fee? I know this may vary between hotels but what is the experience of the members here (or elsewhere for that matter).
I have more questions but don't want to overdo it in one post...lol. Thanks to Enz. and anyone else that takes the time to reply.
Stay safe!

You might want to check that sentence, since I doubt you looking for someone to mate with. :)
Yeah I thought you sickos would read into it like that but I was refering to the drink mate (matay!!!) from argentina which also helps altitude sickness.
That was funny guys!
