    Hindsight = 20/20...what did you wish you had left behind? What did you need?

    That was my original plan, but the elements and lack of surfboards changed my mind. Now I have decided to skip Central and do South Am in the van, try and sell it, fly back and buy a motorcycle to do Central on 2 wheels, so yes.
