Let's just say I kind of "stopped over" on the way to a mission in another part of South America. It is on the equator so it is very tropical, rain forest, hot and very humid. But beautiful at the same time.

I have a niece getting married there in March, which seems to be a big thing. They are very American friendly and many of the population speak fluent English.

I would recommend checking with an making your arrangements through a certified travel agent who knows the country well.
