We did not intend to go all the way to Panama City in one day. Honest! But there was nothing interesting along the way from David unless detouring 50km from the main highway, which we did not feel like doing. So instead we head directly for Panama City. If I thought it felt a lot . . . → Read More: A Fishy Head! Another hot day, another border crossing. This time to Panama. My last for Central America. The crossing itself was easier than most, except that the insurance agent was out to lunch so we had to wait around an extra hour. But to compensate, the actual border itself is a fun one to cross: . . . → Read More: My Very Own City! Costa Rica. A beautiful, expensive and touristy country I will need to, yet again, pass through far too quickly. A couple of days at the Rinconcito Lodge by the Rincon National Park in north-west Costa Rica. I need more time to sort out a solution for my luggage problems. I’ve decided on the Enduristan Monsoon . . . → Read More: Cute Fuzzy Critters Homeless. A bad word back home. It brings up visions of scruffy people living on the street, begging for coins, and best avoided when possible. Yet I am now accurately described as being homeless myself, a condition I worked hard to achieve. It is even a matter of pride, for me and for others who . . . → Read More: Life On The Road: Happily Homeless A good friend of mine once said he would never trust me with high-tech tools before noon.

My goal today: Reach a town near the Nicaragua border. This will mean 300km or more today, more distance than I have traveled in one day since the USA, but I am running out . . . → Read More: The Places I Pass By Now that I am feeling better, it is time to move on to Honduras. I’m certain I missed a lot in El Salvador, but I have a lots of places to go still before the boat to Columbia. Shortly after I enter Honduras, I stop to check my map when this guy stops by to . . . → Read More: Beer! This is an update to a previous review of these panniers. Caribou Cases has converted Pelican cases to motorcycle luggage with the official blessing of the Pelican company (meaning you still get the famous Pelican warranty). Care has been taken to consider the needs of the motorcycle traveler including these features: Quick release latch system . . . → Read More: Review: Caribou Cases 36L Panniers (updated) This is an update of a previous review of the Vibranator. I have spent several months and thousands of miles riding with the Vibranator only in the left side of the handlebars. This has changed my opinion of the product for the better…. The Vibranator is a small device that fits inside the handlebars which . . . → Read More: Review: Vibranator (updated) When I left on this trip I decided to allow myself exactly one luxury item: my fiddle. Everything else has a practical justification related to the trip which far outweighs any purely personal momentary enjoyment.
