Darien Trip
We made it.. There and back, good stories to tell, but for now we are packing to fly home in AM. See you all soon..
Darien Gap Attempt
Four of us, Scott/Peter in the JP Earthroamer and James/Charlie in the Tacoma will attempt to reach the Darien Gap today. This is a grueling drive and has many obstacles, including poor roads and military road blocks. We are not attempting a Darien Gap Crossing as at this time that is absolutely prohibited due to [...]
Rifiki – Boquete – Beach’s – Canal
Rifiki lodge was amazing. Toucans in the wild, monkeys, parrots, snakes incredible jungle trees and vines. All of that topped off with some horseback riding and whitewater rafting. Oh did I mention the world’s fastest waterslide, yup. I’m not sure it was engineered to be, but lack of engineering and the lack of a litigious [...]
Border, Beach and Body
Borders, I love borders as much as I hate them. The Nicaragua to Costa Rica border was fairly smooth but some of the lines were a bit long. All in all, another decent experience! We decided to head to a campsite that I was familiar with, so after a stop in Liberia for supplies and [...]
Volcano’s & Bat’s
Being back in Nicaragua is like coming home for us. We realize how much we missed it now that we are here. We made it to Granada for a brief visit and ate at the Euro Café our old usual. I guided us into town forgetting that the LT (the big truck with us) is [...]
Guatemala – Honduras – Nicaragua
Sorry it’s been a while. Guatemala and Honduras offered little in internet access and telephone service from our travel perspective. We were moving quickly as we had a lot of ground to cover and some truck maintenance to deal with. So here is a review of the last week or so of travel. After our [...]

Guatemala Jungle
Guatemala is very rugged, a place where the past and present collide rather than mix. We are driving on half paved roads and half gravel laden with giant crater sized pot holes. Then you pull up to a brand new shopping plaza with a pizza hut. Very strange, but welcome anyway. We were prepared for [...]
Belize…
Belize, we really missed Belize. Having returned reminded us of why we so much liked it in the past. Think about an entire country of only 275,000 people, doesn’t Suffolk county have nearly 3 million. That’s what makes Belize so special, land, land and more land, all beautiful and green. We visited the Belize National [...]
