Carnets and border paper-work
 

I second the recomendation of establishing an easy to find repository for specific border crossing and paper-work information. Lots of people seem to share the same few simple questions. It would be nice to have a place that contained both up to date 'official' information along side the most recent travelor accounts.

This is especially true for South America and the Darian Gap (how to, how much, ship to Ecuador or Venezuela, etc....). This information is contained in abundance on this wonderful site - it is just not all in one easy to find place.

Thank you so much for this wonderful resouce that has given our community so much information and camaraderie!

Whitney, thanks a lot for the kudos!

We are working hard on centralising all the info - at the moment we're happy to get it on one website instead of a hundred, or locked in someone's head!

Check out the Border Crossing section in Trip Planning for info that we do have on borders in Central America:

Also, the Paperwork page in Trip Planning re Carnet de Passage and other docs:
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/tri...er/index.shtml

The search engine is great for finding information, but it is still a lot to wade through.

A database is in the works, along with a few other new goodies for the site.

Good to have you with us Whitney!
