Suffice to say, I've been around for some time now. What's your excuse? We had things called Maps, and we could actually read them, and better yet, they were free. . . what what?

That '74 Trip does sound pretty amazing. I tried to pull off the ULTIMATE TRIP in 2005. We had plans to drive from San Diego to Panama, sell car, fly to Ecuador, then Brazil, SA, Maldives, Indo, NZ, Tonga then home. 5 months. We took 8 weeks driving the central american portion, and it was epic. However, the gods decided I should not continue on when my left arm welcomed some damned mosquito that gave me some virus that nearly killed me. I had to go home for medical help and never made it back to meet up with my buddy. He made it around the world solo.
But, hey, ended up getting married to the girl I was dating at the time and now try to enjoy those rare gem days that roll into our own no-mans land between Navals and Assateague! I have learned you have to grow to love your home break, no matter how awful it is comparatively speaking.
And about El Salvador, definitely go. that was one of my favorite spots on the whole coast line. That and Nexpa and Pescualles in Mex and the some real secrets on the norther border of Nica.
Santa Claus bring me a SE mid period swell with NW winds for xmas-new years. Would love to hit Teague mid winter on a nice big swell.
see ya out there
