1. Setting the Stage

Its finally happening. The trip that has been in planning stage for over 2 years, and at various times questioned as to the likelihood of actually happening, has begun. After multiple delays for various business reasons, it became real when Craig waved “adios” on July 11.

The trip in its entirety is an overlander’s journey through Mexico, Central and South America. Conceived by “mi novio” Craig about 3 years ago as a kick-off to his upcoming semi-retirement, it begins in Reno Nevada, and takes him to Ushuaia Argentina, via car. I am joining him in Costa Rica and expect to travel through Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Galapagos, Peru, and Bolivia, with expected departure back home from Santiago Chile.
