Trip from Florida to Ecuador

    In the summer of 2009 or 2010,  I will take my KR2 on a trip from Florida to Ecuador.  I will fly to Key West FL, then along the north coast of Cuba to Cancun Mexico.  From Cancun I will fly south following the coastline of Belize to The bay islands of Honduras.  From Honduras I will fly to Costa Rica, then to Panama.  From Panama I will fly along the coast of Columbia to Ecuador.  I well return along the same route but go into Guatemala to Guatemala City, then north to view some Mayan ruins . I will complete my return back to Cancun then to Key West and back home.

    I will be visiting a child I sponsored in Guatemala.

    I will be using ONC charts for navigation.  Flying will all be VFR when possible to allow for maximum sight seeing.  I am planning for the trip to be two to three weeks in duration.  I will be  adding a external bearing and a turbocharger to my engine.  Because of upgrading my engine and work schedule I may have to wait until 2010 for this trip.

    More information will be posted on this web page as I get closer to the departure date.  The camera mounted in the tail of my KR2 will provide video of my trip and will be posted on this website.  Real time updates will be provided by winlink2000 systems.
