My girlfriend and I are planning a trip driving fromCanada
(Alberta) down the American west coast and then around
Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, Panama(Maybe father south we'd like to go to Brasil
for Carnival but have be warned off driving there), Belize
and then Back to New York City. Our plan is to drive the
whole way and camp in our van where
possible. Taking about 6 to 9 months to do so depending on
funds, weather, local atmosphere and how much time it
actually takes. Our van in equipt to camp with four people,
so what we're looking for is another couple to join us and
share costs for the trip or a few couples to join in for
different parts of the trip. We're both 23 I'm Canadain and
she's British and have spent most of the past three years
travelling. Neither of us smoke or use drugs but do not care
if others do enjoy to do so as long as there capable of
respecting our choice not to. This trip is a few months off
because we are still both in the planning and saving stage
but would like to see if there is anyone interested in
joining us. We hope to start out from Canada sometime in
October 1999. If anyone is interested email me at the
address above or leave a post here.

I'd also like to hear from anyone who's done this trip or
any part of it about the must and must not do's. Thank you!

We are planing on doing a similar trip. We are leaving from
Victoria, BC in August and driving down the coast to Mexico,
maybe staying somewhere around Puerto Vallarta for a few
months. I would be interested to learn what you are planing
on doing about such things as mail, banking etc. We will
have no base in Canada and are going to try to do as much as
possible over the Internet. Haven't got much advise for you,
except we have been told to take extra belts and hoses for
the vehicle, to avoid lengthy delays.Would be interested to
share any info we obtain, and would love to hear any advise
you may have. RG
