February seems to be our busiest month down here so, if you have the option, go for March. Also..plan to make reservations as soon as possible as things are booking up for next year..book your place to stay and rental car. One really nice option in CGB, is Columbus Sunset Apts..Rose can give you a good rate and a car thrown in..Added to the CGB dilemma is the fact folks cannot find out what's going on with Quito's "Ole Works Inn"..I keep hearing that e mails and phone call are not working so some of those folks booked there are already looking elsewhere. If you decide to try Apple Bay instead we can help you there.( No cruise shippers to deal with on our lovely little bay).
