I was thinking of Guatemala too but I think it would have been further of a drive for me. Shoot even Panama may not have been the best to try to drive there (could be bumpy). I think you can totally make it to Panama this year and take lots of pictures for us all to live vicariously through you.

It would be nice to go. If I can get there then I most definitely will!! For sure!
What are some things that’s stopping you now or is it just cost ?
Safety. My Spanish is getting better everyday but it’s definitely not good enough for the drive across the border to not be intimidating.
I have friends that go all the time so I’ll more than likely go in a couple of months with them. There are restaurants I want to try and a speakeasy inside of a cave that I want to check out!!
