Ok, what with sorting out Jabs (requiring me to trace my medical records after not having used a doctor in over 10 years), looking for the best deal on a flight (and trying to understand the different policies on bikes, one-way tickets, etc) and fretting about which bike (help me decide! see this thread). The fun bit is thinking up the route.
So far my idea is to fly to Buenos Aires. Then I will either cycle (and/or get a bus) to Ushuaia, the most southerly city in the world. From there, you guessed it, I'll go north. I'd like to ride the Careterra Austral if I arrive at the right time for the ferries to be running. Then I will continue north through Chile and probably head to Bolivia then Peru, then equador.
If its safe to do so, I would like to go through the south of Columbia to Venezuela and then up to the coast of the Caribbean.
Otherwise, I will consider a river boat trip across Brazil and then cycle to Venezuela via the coast of brazil, guyane, suiname, and guyana.
From there it depends on how well the funds are doing. If I have money left I could try and work as crew on a sailing boat and visit some of the caribbean islands, or I could continue up through central america, mexico and perhaps into the US.
Well thats just a rough idea. I'm sure it will straighten out as I get going...
any recommedations on what I absolutely cannot miss out on or where I have got it all wrong are very gratefully recieved!!
