Welcome to our blog. We hope you enjoy the next four months as much as we plan to. We're going to try to keep this blog update as much as possible, so please check back frequently.
Our advanture starts off in Mexico City. We are flying from San Francisco on July 19, 2008. Our tickets were free thanks to miles and too many credit card purchases. We have 3 nights booked at a Bed and Breakfast, which is really just a hostel, but it received good reviews online (hostelz.com, hostelworld.com). However, we might have some people we can stay with, so we may give up the $10 deposit.
After a few days of breathing in exhaust and checking out the largest city in the world, we plan to take a bus or plane to Oaxaca. From there we will head to the coast, to Puerto Escondido for an extended stay and some Spanish lessons, along with some pumping surf. We figure we will have time on our hands in Puerto Escondido to map the next phase of our trip.
We always want to see everything, but Central and South America are pretty big places. So we will have to prioritize and figure out where we really want to go and how much we can spend to get there. Below is a list of some of our top choices so far. Any suggestions or feedback is greatly appreciated.
Mexico
Guatemala
El Salvador?
Honduras?
Nicaragua?
Costa Rica
Panama?
Ecuador?
Peru
Chile
Argentina
Brazil
Weather could be an issue in South America, since we will be arriving during their winter/fall.
