Where Is Liz: Packing
http://www.whereisliz.com/packing/packing.html
I'm not selling any of these products, this is only a collection of impressions about some of the things I have traveled with, or plan to travel with. As I use them, I will add updates. Remember that not all items are appropriate for all travels, and the importance of packing light cannot be overstated: when in doubt, leave it out! Where practical, I have added links to manufacturers or retailers for anyone who wants more information. Text in GREEN has been added since my latest trip. The magic fix-all,.

Central America By Motorcycle: 14 December 2008
http://freedomthrumovement.blogspot.com/2008_12_14_archive.html
Central America By Motorcycle. Friday, December 19, 2008. The Biker meets the Surfer Bum (and I think the surfer wins). View from the beach near the Surfers Hotel. What happens when two distinctly different cultures collide? Surfers at Sunset, many would surf until it was completely dark out there. So as I pull my bike into the Surfers Hotel. My bike and room at the Surfers Hotel. The path to the beach, the side streets and alleys were often just two tracks that served as main roads. Later I walked back ...

Central America By Motorcycle: Gear and Getting Ready
http://freedomthrumovement.blogspot.com/2010/05/gear-and-getting-ready_22.html
Central America By Motorcycle. Saturday, May 22, 2010. Gear and Getting Ready. My bike in Lake Ann, Michigan. My planned departure date was October 15 of 2008 and the amount of preparation for this trip was pretty phenomenal. Whether everything I bought or got done would be useful or needed remained to be seen. The gas cans, the hammock and the tire repair kit I never needed or used. I also didn't use my camping gear much (maybe twice) because I used hotels a lot for safety, convenience and helping m...

Central America By Motorcycle. Friday, January 2, 2009. Seasons Greetings to All. My friend George's house where I'll be staying for awhile. Hope everyone had a peaceful and meaningful Holiday Season and the New Year brings you closer to realizing your deepest wishes. Norma (my sister) and my dad back at the AFC home. Opening presents at my sisters in-laws house, Mary Ellen and Dick. The site itself hopefully will become more user friendly with links to different parts of the trip so people may access th...

Central America By Motorcycle. Saturday, December 27, 2008. Mexico City and Pachuca. What looks to be tepee's of a type of hay dot these fields just before Mexico City. I continue to descend into the city, there is one last toll booth to pay at. I find it kind of funny how you pay to get on, and then have to pay to get off, seemingly not getting anything for your money after the last time you pay except to be ushered into the city traffic and streets. At this point I thought since the bike seemed to be d...

Central America By Motorcycle. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. People of Central America. Starting the trip off of course was my favorite person, my dad. While Stephan was not of Central America, he was someone special I met while in Texas. In fact I met him going both ways, on the way back we were both frozen from the winter wind and he bought me pizza before we went our separate ways. Vera Cordero, myself, and Robert Patterson at Intensa, the Spanish Learning School in San Jose. I stopped to take a picture ...

Central America By Motorcycle. Thursday, May 20, 2010. One of the hundreds of lakes that dot northern Wisconsin, this one is just north of the town of Woodruff on Hwy. 57. I spent about three weeks in Wisconsin helping with the cranberry harvest before coming back to Michigan to finish getting ready for the trip. My Klepper sitting at Black River Bay on Lake Superior in Michigan's upper peninsula just north of the cranberry marsh. Looking out of the Black River Harbor into Lake Superior. Ifferent users m...

Central America By Motorcycle: Memphis, Cotton Fields and Jim Croce
http://freedomthrumovement.blogspot.com/2010/05/memphis-cotton-fields-and-jim-croce.html
Central America By Motorcycle. Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Memphis, Cotton Fields and Jim Croce. Passing over the Mississippi River just north of Memphis the weather got decidedly warmer. From 40 degrees the night before to seventy degrees that first full day. The land reminded me of Paul Simon's song. The Mississippi Delta, Shining like a National Guitar,. Was stretching all the way to Memphis. So cool, very different then the upper. Cottons fields in late October in Tennessee. . Interstate 40 took me toward...
