Route Trip Mexico- TDF october
Hi Robert,

I change the route, because we want to enjoy and visit more places, so we want to spend our trip for 4 months (probably a little more).
Also decided change my 1200gs for the new Gsa and the agency will give it to me the next week.
Nowadays we are working in the route to return, and we are waiting for the contact of the company in Panama to cross the moto and then, decide who is the best if plane or boat.
Anyways we will leave Cancun normally on October 11th. Inform me about your route and we will see if it’s possible to enjoy some miles together.

regards

Pas

Hi Pas

This is good news. Our plan is for us to leave Canada on Sept 19th. We may well have the opportunity to ride together.

What is your route and timeline through Central America to Panama?

Robert

Christmas in Ushuaia
Hi,
we spend the last weekend in Viedma at the HU meeting and more or less everbody is heading to Ushuaia for Christmas. We were about 15-20 people and I am wondering, if we should give the Camping Rio Pipo a notice?

And by the way, the meetup is still at the Campground Rio Pipo, right .... or is there another place?


Thanks for any reply!

Ushuaia it is
We´re coming down from Chile, so missed the Viedma meetup, but it looks like lady burger and I will hit Ushuaia in perfect time for Xmas.

I have no idea where the meetup is planned for, but Campground Rio Pipo sounds fine to us. I guess if 15 - 20 or so bikers are going to turn up on their doorstep just before Xmas some warning might be appreciated.

see ya soon

We won't make it
It was our original goal to be in Ushuaia for Christmas and so I started this thread to see how many more might join us.

It's 10 days before Christmas. Tonight we are in Antogfagasta, Chile. We could push it and get be in Ushuaia in time for Christmas and then push it some more and be in Buenos Aires for "S" flight home on Dec 29. (Unfortunately she must return to the real world and get back to work.)

But we'd miss too much.

During this adventure we have met many travelers who are planning reach Ushuaia for Christmas, some are not idetified (for example Chuck, Stuart, Matt, Martin, Don...). From what I've seen, you should expect a larger number than has been mentionned here.

So here is to wishing you all a wonderful and memorable Merry Christmas gathering.

After the Dakar, I plan to get to Ushuaia before heading north.

Feliz Navidad

Hope to see you around those parts. We would like to be in Viedma as well, but don't think we'll be that far south by December 6th.

Christmas in Ushuaia
Steve and I should be there from Washington (State) - following on from Viedma gathering. He's on an 1150GS and I'll be on a 650GS. Then, up the Carraterra Austral to Santiago.

Looking forward to seeing you there
Hopefully you'll have a chance to shower on the way. ;-)

... I know I'm hoping to find a couple before Ushuaia.

Cheers

Tom has already indicated the intention to be in Ushaia for Christmas. I'd like to throw in a tea party, as my ride there, will be punctuated with daily stops at 4pm to make tea for people.

I see no reason why I shouldn't make tea for everyone who is in the Ushaia at the gathering too.

I hope my tea sponsor supplies enough, or would be gracious enough to have some posted to us in Ushaia...anyone have a postal address which they could use...Post Office end of the Americas might be a little vague?

Who takes milk and sugar?

Lamble... I prefer milk and honey. I'm sure I'll be able to pick some up at the local market. Glad you'll be able to join us. Robert

Unless distracted... me too
I'm heading south from Panama middle of September to TDF. May hit Ushuaia for Christmas, but then again I might get distracted by a beautiful beach, an Andean village, or a vineyard somewhere (or who knows what else ) and get there later

But I will get there sometime around the end of the year or early next.
