Initial Planning

Well there hasn't been any. Surprised?? I fly to Panama City on 27th December and fly back from Belize City on 3rd Feb. That's it. That's the plan.
I'm now fairly well seasoned as a traveller but Central America is a different proposition. I'm looking forward to seeing the difference in how to get from A-B if there is any, and learn a bit more about a part of the world I know precious little about.

I was thinking about starting this with a quote from the film that the blog is named after - but I couldn't find anything suitable. And in any case, the film references in my last blog were getting a bit obscure towards the end. Unless one had a working knowledge of Vietnam war movies or knew the script of Bladerunner backwards, it was probably a bit of a weird read. So this time, I might throw the odd thing in, because I'm stubborn and it's my blog, but I won't pepper every post with them.

I'm also not going to be publishing posts every day this time. I'm going to bunch them up and post in a multi-pack arrangement. It's too much pressure to find wi-fi connections in the middle of a jungle or desert and people only start worrying if I don't post stuff for a few days. So I'll say up front, if you don't hear anything from me in a few days, I'm probably fine and having a great time. If you don't hear anything from me in a fortnight, I'm probably dead or in prison.

I hope the weather out there is good. I'm still taking my trusty hoodie, just in case.
