We’ve always said when we leave DC, we’ll travel for a few months before settling somewhere else. That day has finally come. We’re moving to Argentina in early October and staying there through mid-December. Then we’ll travel around Central America through January.
That’s where you come in. If you’ve been to Argentina and/or Central America, where do you think we should go? What were your favorite countries, cities, sites, and restaurants?
For Argentina, we’re torn about whether to have a home base in Buenos Aires and taking (long) side trips to see the rest of the country, or just backpacking around.
In Central America, we’ll definitely travel around Belize a bit, but we’re undecided on where else to go. Costa Rica? Guatemala? Nicaragua?
Let us know what you think!

That’s exciting! I will be traveling to Guatemala and El Salvador in early December for the first time- I will pass along any ideas after that if you are still undecided at all.
That is awesome! Safe travels. I’ll be looking forward to your posts!
Loved cave tubing in Belize! Belize City seemed kind of scary…
@transienttravels That would be awesome. Our Central America plans are pretty much wide open at this point (definitely going to Belize, though), so let us know. Happy travels.
@Jessie V Thanks! We’re looking forward to posting from afar.
@vitalizer We did cave tubing in Belize a couple years ago and I enjoyed it, too. We stayed mostly in Hopkins, Belize, and I agree that Belize City was a little bit… interesting. In a sketchy way. We’re heading back that way and I’m hoping we can make it to Placencia. I’ve heard good things about it.
Holy Cow! I am SO excited for you!
And I can’t wait to read all about it!
No advice here: just lots of good wishes!
i just remembered – we interviewed jason taylor on our site – he has the most AMAZING underwater sculpture park in grenada. check it out!! that is one place i would NOT miss. his site is http://www.underwatersculpture.com/
Very exciting news ladies! I love Belize, so you should definitely go there, keep us posted on your decisions!
Panama! I just spent five weeks there earlier this year and it was an eye-opener. It’s often ignored in favour of its ritzier neighbour, Costa Rica… don’t miss Bocas del Toro, on the Caribbean coast, or the Kuna Yala, home of the Kuna indians, or the forests, or the beaches, or the mountains, or the wildlife…
I think that’s fantastic. See you guys soon, Jamie
I’m wondering where you live. Please show me your house!
Belize also has it all, and very friendly people. Rain forests, ruins, tubing, beaches. Ahhhhh. Thousand Foot Falls is very cool, if not imaginatively named. And the Belize Zoo is awesome. Little more than some chicken wire and strategically place electric fence between you and the cats.
If you’re serious and interested in El Salvador, please let me know and I’l try to help you out. I’m a retired Foreign Service Officer and ex-Peace Corps Director who has lived in (and loved) El Salvador for almost 30 years. Ir is the best and worst of Central America.
Mike,
Would like to contact you to talk about El Salvador and other SA countries… my email is t_archd@yahoo.com. Hope to hear from you!
