Hello all!
It has almost been a year since Jason and I left Maui to start our adventure ride to Alaska. Crazy to think about! One of the hardest things we have encountered from our 20,000 mile adventure ride last summer is the constant urge to want to do it again. As we go about our normal days, there are little things here and there that spark a memory from our trip and it makes us smile. We accomplished something that a lot of people only daydream about. Our advice to you.....Go Do It! You won't regret it.
Jason and I keep talking about riding the rest of the Pan American Highway to Argentina some day. Like the advice I just gave you, we need to "get 'er done." We are not getting any younger and we have no excuse not to do it. Traveling through Central and South America is a bit more difficult than traveling to Alaska through Canada, but nothing impossible. Neither of us are fluent in Spanish but have enough Spanish vocabulary between the 2 of us to get by. We went to Costa Rica in January for our friend's wedding and there were motorcycles EVERYWHERE! The typical driving there is nuts, so you want to have health insurance that will cover you internationally haha. The other thing that takes a bit more planning for this trip is border crossings. We have to research the ins and outs of how to smoothly get from one country to the next without complications.....but once again, nothing impossible to accomplish.
There are a lot of you out there who have already traveled by motorcycle through Central and/or South America; so any advice is welcome!
We keep getting dumped on with snow here in Colorado, so getting out on the bikes lately has been a challenge. If weather cooperates, we will satisfy our moto urge by traveling to Indiana on our bikes for my brother's wedding in May. If not, we are highly considering living on a beach in Baja until it warms up haha.
Stay warm and ride on my friends!
