Travelling from 03/11/2014 to End of January, 2015

I wanted to get this out much sooner, but combining traveling with the planning of next stops takes a lot time; especially when we are talking about a total of eight countries! I am flying from Toronto to Cancun tomorrow morning and can now finally present my first set of ideas of what to do in Central America. Check it out if you are interested in joining me for any parts or if you can perhaps give me some advice!

Planning Central America really made me looking forward to leave Canada now after my first month in. It’s been great here and it was also nice to see the first snow two nights ago while I was walking home from a halloween party, but now I am really looking forward to replace my pants with shorts and my sneakers with flip flops after hitting 27°C Cancun tomorrow morning!

This post will give you my very first draft of Central America, including all countries: Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. I will spend roughly three months in these countries and focused on destinations that are well connected to the main highway. Some exceptions are of course included and maybe you even have a location for me that I did not look into yet, please let me know in the comments then. Maybe I missed some stuff, but I also decided to not go to a lot of places since they are a bit too far out of the way and it would only repeat stuff that I will already see like nice beaches, diving spots etc.

Since I am a bit short on time right now, I will not be able to write something about all my planned stops. Instead, I will provide you with the info from my huge Excel planning sheet and you can check the destinations on Google Images to see if you like it. If you are a local and have some advice, please consider that some of the things on the list will be skipped in the end and I allow myself to be flexible, depending on the situation. I just like to have an idea on what I could possibly do in the area and make sure that I connect them all a practical logistical way, without any backtracking for instance.

I am also trying to estimate the time I will spend roughly in each place, including travel times to a next destination. So if you see something showing up twice or more in the list, it might only mean that I plan to stay a day less and the rest is reserved to get to the next destination for instance. The list below is pretty packed and I think in reality I need to skip a few things. If you have traveled or lived in these areas and think that some places deserve a lot more or less time, please let me know 🙂 It will help me to roughly get an idea on when I will hit South America since I have to book a flight from the north down to the South to catch my Ship to Antarctica on March 25th 🙂

So if any of this seems interesting to you, please let me know if you want to join. Or maybe you even live in the area and would like to meet up for a beer or a jam session. In any case, just write something in the comments here 🙂
