Have an interesting trip. I did one on a motorcycle from Colorado to south of Mexico City and back up the west coast. 16 days 6000 miles. Only problem was I only spoke English. WW

Those types of tales puts me in mind of Paul Theroux's "The Old Patagonian Express", wherein he tells the tale of traveling by train from Boston to Patagonia. To this day my favorite travel anthology, and author of same.
I took a decidedly unauthorized trip to Mexico City at the age of 16 myself. :)
Later, it took me three years to make it around the world, twice ... the wanderlust remains unquenched, and that over 40 years ago.
Basically, with the last kid now out of college, I wouldn't have turned down the job as Luigi's navigator. :)

I'll have to read that. I just got to the first clue of who it was when he gave his Skype ID. Ha!
Go WeeGee!

Looking at the truck, I was reminded of Steinbecks's "Travels with Charley". I recall it being an amusing read, although I don't remember all that much about it.
I did remember Steinbeck's truck with that same style of old camper on it, and thought of it immediately when I saw it in the photo.

Have a great voyage Luigi.
Next time, maybe think about sailing around the world.

Not in a GM he won't!

I thought of that, but I'm decidedly a wimpy fair-weather coastal sailor. A month-long trip around Vancouver Island cured me of that desire.

So you pay homage to the great god Ralph for the first two days of each passage heh?
You wouldn't be the first or last.
