I will be leaving Florida on June 30th. Plan to be in Guatemala about mid July and will spend at least a month there unless my little brain gets too fried by trying to learn a little Espanol. Look forward to seeing some of you guys along the way if you're going to be around.

Hola Astockjoc,
I have been Mexijo since Mayo 1st....speak little spanish....and like RattlesnakeMike says it works out wonderfully. Finding a hotel has never been a problem. I plan to be in Mexico until maybe August....soooo much to see and the people have been great to me. They are very proud of their country and are grateful that you are spending time here. I am in Puebla now....third day here...next I plan to head to Veracruz. For me Mexico is a good place to get acclimated to Latin America....not that all Latin America is like Mexico, but Mexico has been forgiving, because there has been a learning curve in getting adjusted. If I had one peace of advice it would be do not move to fast....take your time.
Let us keep in touch and see if our schedules work out where we can meet again and compair notes.
Ride Safe,
Johnny

Antigua- beautiful colonial town with a great market and wonderful schools. Quetzaltenango (Xela) - bigger, busier town with some world class sites - hot springs etc nearby. Both places have some of the best Spanish schools / teachers in Latin America. Be sure to opt for the "homestay" with a family, you'll get to practice much more. One of the most important things to do is to not speak, think, or read English for the month or two that you're there. ... Easier said than done, but it can be done. And it can be done much, much more easily in Xela than in Antigua.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
