We are excited to announce that we are planning a new adventure, beginning in January 2012! This journey is called Trekking the Planet. It is a 400-day, around-the-world trip to raise geography education awareness.
A long weekend in December 2010 provided a great opportunity to experience Panama on a five day trip. With just three full days in the country, there was time to sample both the Panama City and the surrounding countryside.
Lauren and I are in Panama City on a five day trip to celebrate our December birthdays and completion of her finals.
When last we wrote we were in Panama City making do with the extreme weather and the havoc it was reaping on our plans.
The 2,775 mile train journey across Canada provided a great opportunity to experience a wide variety of scenery, from forests laced with lakes and rivers, to wide open prairies to the majesty of the Canadian Rockies.
We recently returned from a two week trip to South America, visiting Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. It was a tough journey, probably the most adventurous trip in several years that we have taken. I couldn’t help feeling at one point in the trip, however, that maybe I was getting too old for this.
For two weeks in March 2010 we sampled the best of central South America, focusing on the countries of Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil and Uruguay.
When we last wrote we were in Buenos Aries. After our third and final day there, we boarded a bus heading to Posadas, Argentina which is about an 815 mile, 14 hour trip away. Then we were driven about three miles to the Paraguayan border.
We are on the last full day of our trip through central South America, having arrived in our fourth and final country, Uruguay. It is the smallest Spanish-speaking country in South America, having only about four million inhabitants.
It is now less than two months before we go to Argentina and surrounding area for two weeks. After much give and take, the itinerary has been finalized.
