How many times have you ever thought, "What am I doing with my life...why don't I just pick up and go." I have a feeling many people have felt this before, and I knew that if I ever had the chance, I would do something about it. So, with my recently purchased tickets (thank you sidestep.com), my backpack packed, and with enough shots to make a junkie jealous, I am on my way to a new adventure. Fate also has its own plans, and I will luckily be accompanied by my cousin, Nicole.
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Alex (aka Captain Vacation). Travelling is my biggest passion in life, and when I am fortunate enough to see new parts of the world, I wake up every day and I can see the world as if I am seeing it for the very first time. I was bitten by the travel bug years ago, and for this particular symptom, the prescription is an adventure to Central and South America.
Itinerary: Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador (and possibly the Galapagos), Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Belize
Cost: TBD
Goal: "I'll find out when I get there"
For all you readers out there, I hope you will enjoy the posts to come. We will ask the important questions like, "Do you think this food is safe enought to eat?" and, "How do I tell these people I do not want to buy a timeshare." But seriously, there are many exciting people, adventures, foods, and stories to tell along this journey. I look forward to hearing all of your comments as well.
Until next time, what crazy thing would you do, "If you ever have the chance."

ReplyDeleteRemember to try ceviche in every country.
ReplyDeleteHey Captain-
ReplyDeleteLife is a journey, but journeying makes life so much more enjoyable!
Peru-I dare you to climb to the Temple of the Moon-Machu Pichu. I don't do well with heights so I want to hear from you what it is like.
Also, check out the floating houses on Lake Titicaca. Buy some hand made sweaters too! And eat Guinea Pig.
Costa Rica-Go watch Arenal explode. Truly a sight on a clear night. There's also an incredible thermal pool/spa heated from the volcanic waters. http://www.tabacon.com
Trek the rainforests. Some of the most pristine are not far from San Jose. Manuel Antonio is way overcrowded!
Guatemala-Do go to Tikal. It's an amazing ancient city where the monkeys live. One of my favorite places on this earth! You can day trip from eastern Belize.
Belize-Watch out for the six foot long iguanas!
Let me know when you'll be in Belize. I assume it's your last stop.
GO...ALEX....GO!!!!!!!!!!!!
