Day 310: September 10, 2024
ODO: 320,119 When we arrived on the volcano Berne’s tummy had been unhappy, and it stayed that way for a couple of days delaying our hike. Tummy troubles are not something you want to bring on an unknown quantity difficult hike. Instead we settled in. This was a nice opportunity to acclimate to the altitude,…

Day 303: September 3, 2024
ODO: 319,972 Our final office day! Such a short time in the Bay. After a fun dinner with our work friends we head to the airport to wait for our 5am flight (who booked these flights?!). We have some time before security opens, so we find a place to relax, and maybe take a quick…

Day 296: August 27, 2024
ODO: 319,555 This morning we decide to bail on the waterfall. We aren’t sure about the trail information we got from AllTrails, and honestly, Iceland and the PNW have ruined us for waterfalls, so we figure it’s fine to skip it. Off to Caracol instead! The road in is very muddy, but very nice as…

Belize Summary
Holy cow Belize was a whirlwind adventure! It’s a small country, but there is so much to see. It didn’t help that we gave up our final week here for a work trip, but that’s just what we’re doing right now. Ok, let’s get into the stats! Days in Country: 12, but was supposed to be…

Day 289: August 20, 2024
ODO: 319,281 Today was a work day for everyone with lots of meetings. Luckily for us, this campground has very few bugs so we can have the windows open and the screens up. You would be surprised at how much airflow screens block. Our adventure for the day is moving from one camp spot to…

Day 282: August 13, 2024
ODO: 318,944 We spend the day getting in and out of the lake. In the morning it’s just lovely. By later afternoon it’s warm bathwater again. Between swims we do meetings and other work. We’re still recovering from our trip to Tulum, so we also try and drink a lot of water. We decide to…

Mainland Mexico Summary
Well, we did it…we got all the way through Mexico! Mexico is a gigantic country, just like the other two countries it shares North America with. Because of that size, it was a lot to offer. From delicious and sometimes sketchy regional food, to insane history you can interact with, to stunning geography, Mexico has…

Day 275: August 6,2024
ODO: 318,695 Berne woke up today feeling significantly better, so it was time to move out of this hotel. We didn’t want to just dump him back into the high heat and humidity of the jungle, so we found a different hotel that was located at a cenote. This turned out to be a great…

Day 268: July 30, 2024
ODO: 318,076 Our first stop today was an AutoZone…again. This time we were looking for an ignition switch, maybe that’s the source of our gremlin. We headed into Campeche, an historical town known for its fortified wall, which we somehow managed to completely miss. AutoZone didn’t have what we needed so instead sent us over…

Day 261, July 23 2024
ODO: 317,446 We spent our morning driving around town looking for water. Just about every town has a great purificada, but figuring out when things in Mexico are open or if they exist where Google says they do, is the hard part. All filled up, we headed out of town on the new highway, a…
