There are many places in the world that are as good as the good ole US and if I might be so bold to suggest there are places that are a good deal better. I see a big problem with this American nationalism and it creates a lot of problems for millions of American people. This attitude makes it very difficult to move forward in the evolution of a just and equitable society. It's almost treason to suggest that America has some very big problems that need to be solved. The country lives in a state of denial that I find just amazing. Another point that I would like to bring up is the gullability of a huge number of Americans. In this election year you hear the same old lies and just plain bull from the candidates that we have heard over and over again in every election since Harry Truman. John Mcain, I mean the guy couldn't get elected to a local school board in a country with any political savy. I travel a lot in the USA and I thought that your comments were right on.

I came upon your blog2 days ago and have just finished reading it...WELL DONE !! My wife and I (65 yrs old) purchased our VW Van (Bumble Bee) on-line in Dec 2002. We found it in Utrecht Netherlands and from that point we traveled and camped through 29 countries over 2 years in Europe...we also had a great experience. I found your site while searching out camping to Panama. We are planning our trip to Panama and back this January and was looking for experiences like yours to learn from. Thank you for writing your journal and keeping us entertained as well as excited to start our own journey. Right at this moment we are camping in Falls City WA while we take care of some of our medical check-ups prior to continuing on. If you feel like emailing, we would love to hear from you. Keep on Traveling...Joel and Louise Hola, Well good for you for taking on this journey. I came upon your blog2 days ago and have just finished reading it…WELL DONE !!
