Hugo, if you'd like to know about some neat places to visit along your route, let me know. I've done this route twice. San Antonio, Texas is a bit out of your way, but one of MANY cool places to visit in Texas. There are stacks of places to visit along the Gulf coast- and plenty of great music and seafood to boot. Heck, you'll even pass through Cajun country! And search no further, you won't be needing a carnet heading south. Cheers, Hook.

Thanks mate. I didn’t mean to be rude when I said that somebody was wrong about the bloody Carnet,
It just that when I started to do my investigation, went to google put carnet de passage and a list of all these countries that your vehicle must have one, almost every one in South America, also, the stories that bikers were turn back on the borders. So I panicked a bit and worry until I finded horizons unlimited and you guys are put me on the right path.
Not doing Chile this time (Argentina and Chile is next dream)
Last Xmas with the wife went from Chicago to Fargo,Yellowstone Park, Denver, Atlanta,New Orleans to Miami by car (Years Before the East and West coast) and may be is because I love USA but I won’t get bore Miami to Houston and to the border, I’m sure of it.
Again thanks guys for all the web pages.
Cheers Hugo

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.
