Argentina to Alaska..via everywhere in between!

[Boz]

Hi,

As I'm due to leave for Buenos Aires on the 24th October, I thought I'd start my blog so anyone who's interested can keep track of what I'm up to and share the up's and down's of my travels

It's still very much in its early stages but I'm trying show my progress up to the point of departure at the moment. Comments can be left either on this thread or on the site, but all are welcome.

I'm still waiting to get the bike photos of it being crated so as soon as I have them they will be posted. All went well since I got the license back and it was delivered on Monday to the shipper and is due to leave on the 6th.

Cheers

Nik

Good luck Nik. I rode around Alaska earlier this year and it changed my view of biking completely. If you get stuck in Anchorage in any way, call Phil Freeman or Rob @ Alaska Rider Tours [email protected] 1-800-756-1990/(907)272-2777 and say you're a friend of mine (they know me as Paddy or GIT ie Guide in Training). They're stand up guys.

Thanks for all the support guys, just adding stuff here and there.

Just bought my laptop so ready to keep you all entertained while I'm away...Trying to learn Spanish is like pulling teeth!

Managed to get the pictures of the bike being packed, really weird seeing it like that, and hoping I see it in the same condition at the other end.

Cheers

See you soon and hopefully can second opinions on Advanced Forwarding. Packing now !

 

[Boz]

Cool...make sure you get a few pics of it packed for us to see Fritz!

I tell you my nerves are shot, roll on the 24th...

Cheers

But probably not as much as you

Go safe and well.

Boz,

i hope to visit Argentina next year so I'll be watching with interest. Meanwhile, who are you shipping with, and are they cheap?

Cheers

 

[Warthog]

Ignore that last post, coz if I'd looked at your link beforehand I'd have known, wouldn't I?

 

[Boz]

Here goes....??

Hi Guys,

Well here I am tomorrows the big day, all packed and ready to go….a mixture of nerves and pure excitement about what lay head for me ? I could list already the things I would do differently if I had to do this again, but they can wait until the next trip. I’ve being weighing the luggage over and over to make the 20KG limit check-in baggage – should have sent more with the bike (doh!)

I’ll keep it short on here as I’ll do a full write up on the blog and try and update it with pictures while waiting for flights.

Thanks to everyone who’s been in contact, either with advice or support or both, especially Schtum who's been dragged around helping me out. Hope to meet up with Fritz & Bev at some point over the next few weeks!

Next time you hear from me I’ll be in sunny BA…..bring it on

Cheers

Nik

Boz,

Have a good one. I'll be watching your progress with interest as the girlfriend and I will be doing a similar route this time next year.

Enjoy, Hambo
