Si Comincia...

Here we go again, getting ready for another long road trip.
With this post I begin to share our future road trip. Now days, it is pathological, we need to share. But mainly, I will do it because... I do not remember, do I? I will tell you later.

Of the team, I am the less experience biker and will mainly tag along, trying to not losing motorcycle chain or parts along the way this time. General Chan will honor us with her Majesty presence the last week. So we are all warned.

After brainstorming about different routes: Morocco, South America, Patagonia and dream on. We decided to play safe and go for a conservative coast to coast in US. This time going South to Florida and Key West.

Not that US is really safe compare to the rest of the world. In fact, we have more chances to get shot or mugged here than in Kabul. US has also the unsafe prerogative to be the home land of "wonder-woman" and "rambo" species. So it is not too uncommon to get run over by some mom driving a SUV while talking to the kids and at the same time on the cell and also why not re-arranging things in the purse. Or run over by some man driving a truck, high speed zig-zaging on the highway while is losing the cargo and leaving behind a trail of marijuana smoke.

We all know, driving is boring and watch for traffic isn't fun. Drive safe is overrated. Motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians are an inferior race, lets extirpate these insane habits.

Going back to the topic, this road trip has the advantage that we can do all in one. We can experience:
  • The wild, like in Patagonia. 
  • The open space and distances, like in Argentina
  • Beautiful cities, like in Brazil or Argentina
  • Experience the life of not-so-developed country, like in Morocco. 
An unbeatable travel package. 4 in 1.

And finally, this could be the last time my friends from abroad will be allowed to visit US.  If Trump or any right wing crackpot gets elected.
A wall will be built (if Mexico has the money, US surely doesn't have so much money) and the borders will be closed. Finally, no more dangerous people from abroad, in fact we have already too many born here.
It may be the last time for me as well, because I might get deported. In fact I am "muggle" and not a "pure blood".

Jokes a side, there are several reasons why this road trip looks more interesting than the previous one. To begin with there is no Midwest and 4 or 5 days of corn fields. And on the positive side there is Texas and Florida. And beautiful cities like: New Orleans, San Antonio, Key West, Miami Beach and more.

Keep you posted.
