Hi all, We have been traveling for almost a full month now and are feeling the effects of being nomadic. We are currently in Playa Del Carmen for 5 days then we are going to Cancun and finally our trip is coming to an end on the 18th. We are flying back to Portland, Oregon next monday. We have to come back to the States to get Dain's papers in order before we can continue. We are sad to go but happy to get to see everyone again ( also happy to get off our ho...

I'm sorry if the updates are too frequent, but I needed to add a quick update on our journey from Mexico to Guatemala. We choose the less common route that was more direct from Palenque to Tikal. This meant a 6am van from our backpackers oasis at El Panchán (though in tipical Mexico fashion, it showed up at 6:35) to the side of the river seperating western Guatemalo from Mexico.
