Some Sort of Flimsy Blog Itinerary

Hello everyone,

So chris and I have now moved out of Ottawa, back to St. Catherine's and Guelph respectively. Upside, I can eat again, downside, It's gonna be really difficult to get our papers sorted out from here. Nearly every country we are gonna pass through had an embassy in Ottawa, and for some things (like mexican car insurance)  we need major advice. So I'd like to ask anyone reading this blog with (*relevant) travel experience in Latin America to please pass your wisdom on to us in the comments or through email. We're gonna need it. 
Over the next few weeks / months gearing up for the trip you can expect a detailed account of our preparations, what *cars we are looking at, which video camera we are gonna purchase (as we plan to make episodes of our adventures and upload them to the blog along our trip), which shots / visas / *weapons will be necessary... And *much, much more. I'd also like to point out that although I asked the lady at the passport counter (who was quite cordial by the way) if my app was okay, it was in fact rejected as Chris was too young to be my guarantor. Jerk. 
One last tangent: I'm thinking of looking for a cause we can support through this trip, so, not-for-profits / NGOs, *contact me. We'll see if we can't work something out.

Peace and Love,

*Relavant = Not: "*giggle*, I once went to Puerto Vallarta, and like, the hotel was sooooo dirty, and this one hot Mexican guy, Pablo, kept asking my friend Trixie, like, where we were from... *giggle*"

*We need a cheap old car, preferably a VW (as they apparently have abundant parts in S.A.), so if you own one and want to off it for a very reasonable price (or want to donate it to the cause of scientific exploration), llamanos!

*Primarily for Hunting, though I'd be lying if I said that protection hasn't crossed my mind

*Eventually, I'll probably start on some ill-fated rant on the economic outlook of "enter-place name-here", I encourage everyone to rip my half-baked and usually uninformed arguments to shreds... if you can (said with evil stare and menacing background music directed at Jonah)

*Email or Facebook is best...
