texas to panama and return winter 2008/2009
 

looking for a riding partner from texas to panama in jan .feb(flexible) figure 4-5 weeks....no hurry..explore a little bit...stay in moderate to inexpensive lodging:palm:

hi there...
 

will be crossing into mexico around sept 7th or so.... and heading down...with a view to being in quito for october 10th, leaving panama on the 9th or so....
not sure if it suits... i'm currently in fairbanks after completing transcanada and am heading to tdf

thanks for the reply but I'm looking to start in the winter...to hot in sept.

I am planning on doing this trip early next year as well, however I wont be doing it on a bike-- I'll be in a VW camper van (possibly with my dog). I've traveled with bikes/on bikes through Central and South America before though. I was thinking of starting in California but would be willing to go over to Texas instead to start my trek. If you dont mind being trailed by a big orange van maybe we could work something out. FYI though, I will be continuing down to Columbia or Ecuador so I wouldnt be coming back to the US with you.

that may work. I've never traveled with a car /van before.

texas to Panama
 

Hi.
i am Irish and currently in Vancouver having come across from Nova Scotia. I am on my way up to Alaska at the minute but will be heading down to Tierra Del Fuego later in the year. I'm going back across the States first so won't be ready to head for Panama until November. Is this to early for you? Paddy.

Hi Roger, I am in Nova Scotia at the moment and if all goes to plan I hope to be crossing into Mexico around the middle of December. I have done the Mexico - Panama route 3 times now so if you want we could meet up and discuss routes where the beer is cheaper or indeed when I pass through Texas. Ride safe, Mike.

Going South
 

Hiya,

I am planning to ride to Texas from LA (along route 66) and then cross into Mexico early to mid December taking about 4-6 weeks to ride to Panama. After reading Oisin’s blog I would really like to ride with someone through Central America to do all the border crossings.

I will also be stopping for short visits at some Casa Alianza projects that I am fund raising for. But am a pretty casual traveller if someone wants to meet up, do a bit together and then go their own way.

Let me know if you are going to be in the area around then.

Ciao,
Annette
