Getting Ready

Paper work and filling out forms are the order of the day. Copies of passports, Obtaining international drivers liscense, Insurance, motorhome information(such as measuremnents of the length and height) all take time. This travel stuff is a lot of trouble but is part of it, We are getting Doctor's and Dentist appointments out of the way. We know the time will slip by. Our goal is to be ready to head south to rendezvous with our group in Texas July 20.
Lots to do.

Introduction No. 2

Note that this entry is a year older than the previous one. The 2010 trip was cancelled due to floods in Brazil, earthquakes in Chile, drug wars in Columbia, and on and on. We were just notified that the 2011 trip is on and will leave in mid-July. I'd say that there is a 90 percent chance we'll go this time. We will enter South America about the middle of their Fall. When we cross the equator in Ecuador, it will be the beginning of their Spring. Then as we travel south toward Cape Horn, it will be Summer. We have a lot of things to do and we'll keep you posted as we go along.
