Ok here it is, I wanted to give something back to Grant, Susan and this site for all the good info it provides and its promotion of a way of travel and lifestyle that is unique and has so many benefits.
I took my Vulcan 750 down from Michigan (in the u.s.) to Costa Rica last fall. I did a blogging site during the whole trip and got good feed back from other riders and people following the trip looking to perhaps do the same thing. I had a lot of problems and needless expenses at the borders that I wrote about on this site and got some really good responses.
One thing I wanted to do with my site was to do an extensive post on all the border crossings (except Panama since I didn't go that far) with the idea of perhaps helping others new to this experiance. I wanted to share this with readers of this site as well and instead of trying to get all that information in the form area of this site, I'm just giving out my blogging site so people can read it there. Eventually I would like to organize my site better with links to this site and vice versa, as well as other travel friendly sites, also maybe moving my site to this site or at least related posts like the border crossings ones here. But for now to get something on here that people might be able to use sooner I'll just give my blogging site's address and also my thanks for help offered on my trip... Thanks Again ......

P.S. I just wanted to say this is really an extensive post of fees paid both coming and going, times of the day, and days, as well as serious strategies for dealing with all the corruption and crowds at these borders, especially for the novice......
