Timy's Travels

I have decided to divide my adventure into several sections to accomodate my limited vacation time I have every year. Well, here is the tentative schedule:

Denver to Alaska, Summer 2006
I picked the middle of June for the Alaska leg of the trip because June presents favorable conditions. June provides a combination of warm weather and low precipitation, compared to July or August. The plan is to go from my home in Denver to Seattle where my cousin, a commercial rafting guide, wants to take me for some white water rafting.
From Seattle I'll head to Vancouver Island and drive to the northern-most point of the island, Port Hardy. From there I'll take the ferry to Prince Rupert. This will provide me with a couple of days of rest while covering a distance about 600 miles. From there I'll drive to Fairbanks and Prudhoe Bay (Dead Horse). Because I only have a couple of weeks of vacation, I will fly me and my Beemer back to Denver.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Entonces tengo pensado lo siguiente (tentativamente):

- Start June 17
- Denver to Seattle (Land)1,331 miles, 4 days?
- Seattle - No Driving, 1-2 days, rafting with my cousing, a certified rafting guide!!
- Seattle to Vancouver Island, 300 miles, 1 day (Port Hardy) (Land)
- Port Hardy to Prince Rupert, 1,211 miles, 3-4 days no driving! just beer drinking!! (Ferry - Alaska Marine Highway) (Sea)
- Prince Rupert to Whitehorse, 877 miles, 2-3 days?
- White Horse to Fairbanks, 602 miles, 2 days
- Fairbanks to Prudhoe bay (Dead Horse), 400 miles, 1 day (one way)

RETURNING:
- Dead Horse to Anchorage (Land), 760 miles, 2 days
- Anchorage to Denver (Air) 1 day

------------------------------------------
New York City, Summer 2007
The second leg of the trip is from Denver to New York City. Although I'm not so thrilled about the destination itself, I hope to visit with my favorite aunt Mercedes for at least a couple of days, and then fly back to Denver.

Denver - Panama, Summer 2008
I'm expecting this to be one of the most exiting legs of the trip. I always wanted to visit Baja and other areas of Mexico. I'm also excited about the Central American cultures, specially because I hear they are so similar to my own Ecuadorian culture! Once I arrive to Panama, my bike and I will return to Denver by air.
Panama - Ushuaia - Winter 2008 ?
This is really what I wan to see, mostly because I will be crossing my native Ecuador!!! Fortunately, there is a bunch of nice people -dual-purpose aficionados- who like to hang out with other moto adventurers. Before starting this leg of the trip, I need to decide if I'll do the whole South America at once, or in two parts. The first part would stop in Chile and the second part would take me from Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, fly to Houston, and drive back to Denver. It will all depend on time availability:-(
Chile or Argentina - Brazil, Venezuela, Houston, Denver ?
