Mid Summer Update + Darien gap insights

So, work has quickly come upon us, and increasingly Chris and I are finding ourselves unable to devote much mental time to trip planning. Which is fine, as there is not too much more we can plan.

Last weekend I headed down to St. Catharines, where Chris and I discussed which video cam to pick up, we settled on a sweet waterproof one. Hopefully we'll pick it up sometime this week, though my bank account is getting a little thin these days...
My "to do's":
  • Get passport (this weekend) √ (Post entry edit)
  • Get shots (August?)
  • Decide for or against sponsorship* X
*Although sponsorship is what I do I know how time consuming putting together a decent "sponsorship plan" is...
Hopefully sometime this month we'll get a video up of the car we are currently planning to take, my Bro's old VW golf. I'm sure we'll also follow that up with a poll - cause once you see this thing, you might doubt our ability to make it to Cambridge let alone Panama City.

I also felt I should post some info on the Darien Gap for fellow future traveller Panamerican traveller Serban, who is attempting this same trip in late 2009. I can't remember the site address I copy / pasted this from, but it's got some good info for sure: ... On second thought, this thing is huge and will take up pages of blog space... You can read it by clicking here.
Peace and Love,
