first it's off to atlanta to visit family/friends. looking forward to this as it's been over a year. i am sure i am in all kinds of trouble for taking so long to get back, but i hope to charm my way out of such trouble in person. lots planned for this part of the trip, mostly catching up with some pretty important people in my life.
i leave for belize september 14th. arrive in the morning, and according to all i've read, it's best to get out of belize city as soon as possible. so, i plan on jumping on a taxi boat to caye caulker, to spend a couple of days on this "backpacker destination" island, right off the coast. life here should be fairly cheap, and i'll be able to meet some fellow travelers and get some ideas on where i'd like to head next. ideally, i'll spend a little time in mainland belize, some time tin guatemala, then off to san salvadore to visit a friend. this should be around 1 1/2 weeks. i am probably crazy.
also, today i went to an orientation for couchsurfing.org, an organization dedicated to bringing travelers together. you can either host, if you are in your hometown, or meet up with locals while in a new place. hosting can mean letting someone stay with you in your home or just taking them out on the town and showing them how the locals do it. i hope to utilize the organization while i travel, but the problem is i don't tend to plan too much in advance. luckily there are plenty of low cost hostels in most places in central america, but it would be nice to hang out with some people who live in an area. we shall see.
have any suggestions or ideas? contact me!
