Well it has been decided. We go January 12, 2008 and return February 15, 2008. Five weeks in, hopefully, paradise.
So we are booking air line tickets, buying spare parts, updating our riding gear, some of us are getting our driver’s licenses. You know the good stuff. The stuff that makes the trip seam more real every day.
After reviewing all of our options we have decided to bring the bikes to Dale’s house in Penticton and he will drive them down to Phoenix in a U-haul. He will drop then at his dad’s place or a mini storage then we will fly down and pick them up in January. Talk about dedicated to the trip !!!. Way to go Dale !!
Other plans are coming together. Buying maps and poring over them. Looking at interesting travel spots in Nicaragua and Cost Rica. Looking at various travel routes trying to make sure that we don’t use any “seasonal” roads or truly secondary roads down there. Did you know there is an active volcano just east of our route in Costa Rica ? I think I may have to check it out.
