Thinking of you down in Mexico

So as some of you may know, I leave for Mexico on Monday to begin my eight month journey through Mexico, Central America and South America.

The plan? Get my PADI Open Water in Playa del Carmen, Mexico and dive my way down the Caribbean coast until I hit Costa Rica, where I will pick up surfing until I hit Colon, Panama. After which, I should be hopping on a boat for a four day sail down to Cartegena, Columbia.

From Columbia, I'm either working my way through Ecuador or Venezuela (probably Ecuador) to partake in a two to three week excursion on the Amazon. I'll be partying my way through Brazil and checking out Iguazu Falls, which boarders Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.

At some point, I'll be heading down to the most southern city in the world, Ushuaia, Argentina. I'll also try and get some skiing and snowboarding in while in Chile, check out Machu Picchu, Nazca, Cuzco and Manu in Peru before working my way back up, trying to hit Venezula if I have the time.

The I should be working my way through the Costa Rica I didn't see, parts of Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala and back into Mexico.

After that I plan on hopping a plane to Tennessee to see my sister, if she's available, if not I'm going to play in L.A. for a few days. Then it's off to Whistler for a week of snowboarding instruction and playing before heading back home for the Christmas season and my birthday.

I'll try and be a lot more diligent with updates this journey!
