Question Kentucky to Panama

Will be leaving for a 3 month trip to Central America in June (Suzkuki V Strom ). Crossing into Mexico at Brownsville, Tx. Calle 180-185-190 though Mexico to Guatemala. Then Calle 1 to San Jose Costa Rica. I have been to Costa Rica many times in the last two years ( Delta Airlines ). A wonderful country. I have travel a couple of hundred thousand miles in the USA on a motorcycle but never international. Any information and advice from anyone who has knowledge of the route will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all in advance for you help;

Tom

Tom,

I'd recommend visiting the Travellers Stories pages - there's lots of info there form travellers who've been there. None of it is hard, the borders are a pain, but not HARD. You could easily "just go" and be fine and have a great time.

Note your question is a bit "open" - to big and wide ranging for someone to write a response to in a few minutes. Read the stories, do a little research - search the HUBB and the HU website and then you'll have a lot of information to work with - and perhaps a few more specific questions that are easier to answer.

See the Ezine for some more info too.

Have a great trip, and do keep us posted - you could be in the ezine!

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.
