Mapping It Out

Planning to start booking flights later this evening. Meantime here's a map of Mexico.

At the moment the plan is to fly to Mexico City and then head along to the Yucatan visiting several places en route. So far Oaxaca, Veracruz, Merida, San Cristobel de las Casas, Palenque and Playa del Carmen all make the list but nothing's concrete yet.

Internet Delays

Meant to start booking flights but the internet site is down. Meantime here's a few pics of what I look like - 1st is in San Sebastian in Aug 2003, 2nd is in Barcelona Sept 2003 and 3rd in Barcelona Aug 1st 2005 - my 30th birthday.

Details of the 2003 trip are still online in a previous blog at:

Spaintrip 2003

And more details about other trips including Argentina and elsewhere can be found at my personal vt page which I've just added to the links on the top RHS of this page

Countdown Commenced

Have got permission to take the time off work so serious planning for the Mexico trip starts now. 5 and a bit weeks to take in Mexico City, Oaxaca, the Yucatan and some of the spots in between. The plan at the moment is to do 3 weeks of study at Spanish schools interspersed with backpacking, but nothing is confirmed as yet
