McAllen TX to Mexico -> Costa Rica ~ November 6th-ish 2015
I've been on the road more-or-less for 1 1/2 years now... I'm heading down to Costa Rica / Panama for the winter and plan to cross into Mexico around November 6th 2015, driving down to Costa Rica and stopping there for a while -- hopefully arriving in Costa Rica in early December-ish. Anyone heading down the same way looking for some company? My Spanish isn't great, but my truck is well equipped for any kind of on-road/off-road adventure. ;-)
I have a modified 2007 Jeep Wrangler (JK) pulling a Campa trailer (small trailer w a tent on top). I prefer hanging a hammock most nights (easy and fast to pack), but also have a ground tent, and a tent on the trailer. I'm in no hurry, and I expect to drive down the Caribbean side, then cross over to the Pacific side in Nicaragua, to enter Costa Rica just north of Liberia.

About the only real important thing for me is daily internet access, either by prepaid cell (the truck has a cell/wifi router) or public wifi/hotspot.

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.
