Back to Belize - Part 2

We awoke to pleasant rays of much needed sunshine, bid a hasty "adieu" to Turtle Inn and carted ourselves back toward town to Captain Jaks, a modest but charming property recommended to us by a friend in Playa. We were immediately greeted by Tamalyn...

A Day in the Life

Okay, well maybe two. I've been back in Xela now about a week-and-a-half, and am enjoying my time here again. I've got some great friends here, and really do enjoy where I live and what I do. Including what happened last weekend.

Guidebook Review: The Traveler's Toolkit for Mexico and Central America

Tim Patterson — Tue, 20 May 2008 16:33:50 -0500

The new Traveler’s Toolkit for Mexico and Central America is not a typical guidebook.

Mostly, this is a good thing – the authors focus on practical advice and general information rather than specific listings of hotels and restaurants that will be out of date as soon as the guidebook reaches...

A Day in the Mind of a Travel Junkie

MST — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 19:20:20 -0500

Ah, to continue the Central America trip...I am on it bigtime as soon as this job in LA ends. The plan slowly comes together--some days it's all solid, some days it's loose as a goose.

But, that is what travel is all about, especially long-winded travel. That's why I work like a maniac for 3...

The Secret to Surfing Uncrowded Central America

Where Is Bowdo? — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 16:37:51 -0600

OK well not always uncrowded but certainly less people in the line-up than most equivalent breaks in Australia, USA or Asia.

Central
America has been growing steadily as a surfing destination for some
time now and the reasons are pretty simple: exotic...

A Long Road to Guatemala....Part 2

[size=11]Side note: This story—not this one,
but the overall story—ends badly. Ok, perhaps not “badly”, but completely
opposite of our hopes. I say this only because the following entry was written “in
the moment” and ends in present tense. Unfortunately, the real present...

In Memoriam

Liesbet — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 16:39:55 -0500

It is the middle of October 2006. After visiting Panama
in our RV, Mark, the dogs, and I crossed back into Nicaragua
a few days prior, and are now in the good company of Chris and Mel from Canada. ...

Central America by RV

Liesbet — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 10:34:56 -0500

Yes, it is possible! Is it dangerous? No! Is it hassle free? No!

Mark, his dogs Darwin and Kali, and I explored Mexico and Central America for the whole year of 2006. We drove our truck camper all the way to Panama, over the Canal, and back. It was great to have our own (comfortable, but small)...

Healthcare Access for Latin America on a F650GSD

SalCar — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 14:45:48 -0500

This is not a story of heroic acts, but a story of personal struggles to fulfill a dream. This is the story of a young man that decided to abandon it all and decided to follow his heart, to ride his BMW and to live a dream.
My dream was...
