    From Alaska To Brazil - Brits do the Americas

    Dinghy Hey Mark, I've been reading your blog and it seems like you all are having fun. I wanted to ask based on your experience whether pulling a vehicle behind you would have made your life easier or its unnecessary? Let me know what you think. Thanks, Hani

    Dinghy Is it better to tow a vehicle or carry a motorcycle to use as a dinghy? My girl and myself and our two twenty pound dogs will be traveling for about a year from Alaska to Panama. We will be doing remote camping and touring cities. We plan to take our time slowly taking it all in...

    Well, I live in key west which is an island with about 20,000 people. I love how I can walk most places and how small town it is. It is always lively and you actually feel like your a member of community and not just a number. On top of that the water is awesome. All that said, I want to...

    California is very appealing, but the high cost of living makes me think twice. Figuring out where to move next takes a lot of effort. It's so hard to get to know a city or region in a few days.

    I am now in the process of putting a new floor on the plane. I am still deciding what to skin the interior in, aluminum or wood? Aluminum would be easier for dealing with the curves but would I be losing insulation value by using it? I have decided to create two beams that will originate from...

    Dog Carrier

    I am using the bike as a dinghy for my camper. So at times I may need to take the dogs with me as opposed to moving the entire camper. How about two carriers, one mounted on each side?

    I bought a salvaged cessna 310 to mount above the truck roof. It will connect to the living quarters and function as a bedroom. Is it a problem if the plane extends beyond the windshield? And what is the best way to mount it? I will have to cut out the floor to bring the height down to 41".

    Thanks for the support guys. The most important update is that this whole process is not about finishing but rather the skills you learn along the way. For example I was drilling holes in the trucks frame and I was miserable. I thought there has to be a better way. Sure enough I found a...
