We also had a look around your site and really like it! Super excited to read that you’ll start your RTW trip in Central America! That’s awesome. Let us know if we can help out with any recommendations or anything else. Happy travels!

You were one of the first websites we found and got addicted to! We love Central America! Already have done small week vacations in Mexico, Belize, and Costa Rica but we can’t wait to go back and spend numerous weeks in each location! We will probably pick your brain a little more on Central America when we are there. We looked at all your posts/reviews and wrote down your hotels/activities/cities! We hope to see the turtles in Costa Rica, that looked amazing!

Great line up
we’ve been following some of these blogs since we left home nearly two years ago! We spent six months traveling and house sitting in Costa Rica and Nicaragua so let us know if we can help out with the Central American portion of your RTW trip. We have recently updated our travel blog, still have some tweaking to do and loads more content to upload but maybe on day we’ll appear in a list like this! We’re traveling for the foreseeable future so no doubt we’ll have lots of adventures to share! Keep up the good work and spread the Wanderlust!

I’m finally getting around to see this… so sorry. Thank you so much for including me on this list. I think this is my first list to be on for 2013… so I’m extra happy. What a great collection of blogs you have listed here… so many of them are some of my favs & great reads. Oh & thanks for picking me as “MOST SCANDALOUS BLOG” – makes me proud jaja.
On another note woohoo for being close to BREAKingAWAY & I love that you will be starting in Central America… that’s where I started. Let me know if you need any help or tips.

No worries! You should be on many people’s favorite blogs, we hope we are next year! We hope once we start traveling and have more stories our following will get larger! You must have good taste if your favorite bloggers are the same as mine!
Adam came up with the “Scandalous” part! We have so many favorite blogs, we had to narrow it down to 13 and have a title for each, it was hard!
We can’t wait for 6/29/13 so we are OUTTA here! Just over 5 months and counting! So many people skip Central America all together, but we love it and can’t wait to travel it for a longer duration that a typical 1 week vaca! As we start moving through Central America I am sure we will be contact you for EXPERT advise you have! Watch for cheap flights out of Houston, maybe we could meet up! Talk soon!
