I was thinking that a great road trip might be a fine way to just throw care to the wind and cast aside everything we had ever hoped and dreamed would become of our lives.
I myself want to have at least one more renegade experience in my life and I bet ,,, secretly ,,, there are some of you that feel the same way .
Texas to Belize and back ~~~ 31 days~~~~
The trip is about 4000 miles round trip in the Retro Gypsy Girl RV. On good roads we can make some time , after all she does have a 350 w/ twice pipes and a 4 barrel carb.
But we should not plan to be in a hurry 4 -10 days down might work as a plan.
It is the trip after all and not the destination right ?
An ambitious plan would be if we left on a Monday morning. Nobody would miss us until that afternoon and by that time we would be crossing the border at Laredo and headed towards Monterrey. Tuesday after saying Adios to our newest friends we could follow the roads that skirted the base of the mountain range towards Victoria and then into El Mante. Wednesday we might spend the night in Veracruz... Hell… we may just make that our destination.
But, if not…………
Thursday we could truck thru Villahermosa and then cross the border into Belize proper and make our way to the coast via those nasty mud soaked roads after the recent storms. By that afternoon we could hit the shore just in time to gear up and do a dive before Sunset.
From there on out it would be every man and woman for themselves and life could play out just the way it presented itself. After a week or so of drinkin' and divin' we could gather together those that wanted to leave and make our way back to Texas and explore new places or just follow the same route back and hang with our Amigos along the way. We might have to face the music when we got back but......
For me the trip would be life at less then ½ the price !
So what do you say ? Is it a deal ?
( offered up as just a fun fantasy but you never can tell )
